More Leaves in the River

Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted November 15, 2014225 views8 comments
This has been a great Weekly Challenge!

When I posted "Red Oak, Golden Waters" a few days ago, some members asked to see more from that shoot. So here's one last shot (plus more samples below in a comment) from the sunrise leaf shoot with great reflections beaming at me while I was on the shady side of the river.

More images below (in a comment) -- a sample of a couple of the triptychs from this shoot, with different leaves and different colors of reflected trees and sky. These use square crops so you can rotate the prints 90 degrees and hang them vertically, as well as horizontally.

ALSO, one of the nicer images from that shoot was a Macro Gallery Weekly Pick in 2010, "Aquarius," HERE.

Canon 50D; Canon 100-400mm.
1/125 sec. @ f/8; ISO 200

As I mentioned, I shot a lot of images, as thousands of leaves floated past me in the shade, while the colorful trees on opposite shore lit up like crazy in the morning sun, creating amazingly bright, saturated reflections. Here are a couple of samples of triptychs that I put together from that shoot.

Hey Wayne,
These images are inspiring and very well captured and presented. You nailed this shoot and it would be very difficult to pick one that is a favorite.
Well done . . . :toast:

Another spectacular floater, Wayne. The touches of green here are a terrific addition. What a great "shoot".
