Leaf Pattern
Finding patterns in nature is fun and challenging. Some patterns are readily evident, others are more discrete. The image at left was taken in a small grove of aspen where a lot of leaves were dangling in a small breeze and were back lit by the sun. The more obvious image was the grove, the leaves were not quite as obvious. A 500 MM lens was used to isolate the leaves from the rest of the grove but maintain a number of peripheral leaves in the same plane of focus.
Correct exposure was the greatest challenge of this image. A spot meter was used to calculate the exposure from one of the leaves. An exposure adjustment of opening up 1.5 stops was used since the bright yellow color tends to cause the meter to close down the exposure.
