Film Photography VIII

Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted November 13, 201467 views4 comments
I've recently been posting a few of these "oil on water" abstracts again this year in the ES&S Gallery, although without a leaf. But, in light of this week's theme, here is one with a leaf similar to the ones I posted last year. This was taken along Pine Creek in Zion. I think this is an ash leaf, but I'm not certain.

Canon 5D II
Canon 180mm f/3.5L Macro
180mm, f/20, 1.0 second, ISO 50

Yes, it is an ash leaflet. Ash leaves are compound, with 7 to 9 leaflets.

Lovely tones, Jim, an excellent composition and some great textures. The two small stones add quite a bit to the balance of the image - I like this a lot !

Beautiful composition and color. The leaf on bare rock would have been great, but the water makes it even nicer.

This is lovely, Jim. The oil streaks in the water create a fine feeling like this is a painting. This is wonderfully warm and very nicely balanced with the two stones.
