My Corner of New Hanover
Last Year's Leaf
Posted by Russ Devan (New Hanover, United States) on 26 April 2009 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
...taken during a recent walk at French Creek State Park. I like how some leaves are very stubborn and refuse to fall of the tree no matter how hard the wind blows. I like tenacity.
The metadata for this image is 1/400 sec at f/5.6 at ISO 100 using a Nikkor f/4 18-200 mm lens at 200 mm. CS3 has a very dumb habit of stripping out the copyright info and metadata for an image when you downsize it for the web.
"The Master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both."

I like the "pity me" feel to the leaf as well as the comp and color.

Very nice framing and DOF control. This could be an abstract. Nice find.

Beautiful glow of light! best...jerry
EXIF in CS3. Edit/Mode/ "8bit" then "Save As" JPEG instead of Save for Web which strips EXIF. Sometimes Save for Web > Options flyout > Include XMP works, but doesn't on Am3 for me.

The light on this delicate yet stubborn leaf is just beautiful.
When I save for the web I use the same method that ordinaryimages uses...but I don't have CS3. I have just always saved that way.

Well done with good exposure. I also am impressed how some leaves never let go. PSE 6 and Lightroom 2 also strip out the meta data when saving for web. I use save as for images I post on my blogs and pbase.
