Light and shadows

Copyright Nathan Montgomery, 2008

One last shot from the trip to the mountains a few weeks ago. The leaf is really a fantastic subject (the veins, in particular). I just wasn't there at the right time of day. The shadows are obviously painfully harsh, and there was really no way around overexposing parts of the image. No doubt, this isn't the type of picture you put near the front of your portfolio. It's a C image at best.

That said, I still think it has some redeeming characteristics. I like to work a shot- it's a lot of fun to go some place ordinary and to try to find a shot that is a jaw dropper. This isn't a jaw dropper, but I do think it's a nice example of how you can find an interesting shot if you look hard enough.

I like the feel of flowing water. The capture of the leaves by the stream is pretty. I think this is a very good shot. Love, Ma
