November in my Garden

The rain stopped finally today and I found some interesting subjects around the garden. I took my time and used my tripod along with a low ISO and very small aperture in an effort to get some very sharp images.

I experimented with zooming the lens in a little during exposure. There were several different interesting variations, including some that were very abstract like the one above. The one to the left was the best combination of some sharpness along with some of the zoom effect.









I liked the contrast in shape, color, and texture with these leaves that had fallen on the lamb's ears plant.


I found this little seedling under another plant. I transplanted it into a pot and if it survives the winter, I will plant it in a more suitable spot.





And finally, a portrait of the colors of November; orange, gold, brown, and rust.

Although I really like all of these, you know I pick favorites when there is more than one. The second and third are my favorites this time. I really like that second one with the big zoom, but the third is at #1 for me. That one has such a great quality to it that's hard to explain. Fantastic.

I also like the leaf alone. The colors and sharpness are perfect. That last one looks like a version of #3 and if it wasn't shown together, I would have liked it, but with #3 in the mix, it just is missing something.

You had an inspiring day and did some really great experiments that worked perfectly.
