Magic Leaves
Here's some magical rotating leaves shot on Wednesday at Smith Creek. Me, my brother and mother spent a few days shooting around the Ponca area. I should have some more to post from this trip and eventually some more nature video clips to share. I've been trying to capture video clips of each scene I shoot stills of, and gather some high quality audio sounds with a standalone recorder.

Oh, if someone finds a 4GB card near the Elk fields with a 1 1/2 hour star trail shot, IT'S MINE! I seem to have misplaced that card out there...

Sweeeeeettttt shot Aaron. Love the mood you created in this. Fall is always a bunch of leaves in motion and this creates that mood for you. Thanks for sharing.

That is unusual. I don't recell, in my limited experience, seeing a photo like this.
Great capture.

Neat shot, Aaron, it looks like the galaxy swirling into a black hole!

Cool shot Aaron. Nice composition and colors in the overall scene too. I'd like to take a "swirling leaves" shot, but I don't know if I'd recognize such a scene. Was it obvious to you that the leaves were swirling before you starting shooting?

Great shot Aaron. I passed my phone around for everyone to see last night around the campfire. It really looks better on the big screen! I love the motion of the leaves. Lots of fun!

I think I may have seen you guys Thursday. I was in a black Z71 Tahoe. I met a car that looked like yours coming out of Steele Creek and then I saw a group of three shooting in the rain at the old house near the hwy 43/74 intersection that looked like your car again. Was it you?

Well-composed and the color is beautiful...nicely done, Aaron.

Aaron really a cool image. The eddy of leaves swirling really makes the shot.
