New Little Leaves
The tiniest details are always so interesting . . . the lens here is an old one, probably from the 70s. Â It is an Elicar manual focus macro lens, which can do a 1:1. Â I think it is very similar to the Nikon 55mm macro. Â It has a great feel to it, and the beauty of this lens is its diversity – use it like a standard 50-55mm or use it as a macro. Â One of my favorites!
Texture iii, BW
Black and white can be very difficult if not done properly – contrast has to be there, whether long scale (lots of grey between the blackest black and whitest white) or short scale (little grey between black and white). Â Long scale images may never reach black or white, and may not work at all. Â Certain colors work better in b&w with a filter. Â So much more stuff, it seems to me, needs to be learned when shooting in b&w! Â I struggle with it. Â Above is longer scale; below is shorter scale. Â The red leaves were really difficult to render.
Texture, iii
These photos in the “texture” series are from several years ago on a walk through the neighborhood. Â They were taken with a little point-and-shoot camera with limited capabilities, but they still provide visual viewing pleasure for me. Â More bits and pieces of things, rather than the grand vista . . .
Texture, ii
Here, the repeated patterns of leaves provide the texture, from large to small, old to new.
