Very nice words, Gary…thank you. The fourth one is also my favorite…I like the colors and the long crop. And no, I didn’t get too wet down there…I actually cheated and held the camera down there as I kneeled in the trail…and took a bunch of photos, hoping for the best with the essentially blind shots…I’m glad they turned-out as well as they did…thank you again….
That’s not cheating, but rather the result of experience, wisdom, and perhaps just a smidgen of luck and laziness. But if you got the shot you want, it’s worth whatever it took.
These are tricky to capture Scot, but you’ve done well. I was looking at some leaves in our garden jewelled by raindrops the other day and wondering whether to try photographing them. Maybe I’ll give it a go next time it rains.
I think I was rather fortunate to capture them as I did, Andy; as I mentioned to Gary above, I was holding the camera down at trail-level and snapping the shots…hoping for the best. Many didn’t turn-out well, as might be expected, but these seemed to have done ok…with a little cropping, of course. 🙂
When these were taken, no…I took these the same day I shot the ones from the “Frost-ing” post a little earlier…what a difference a 1,000 ft or so in elevation can make….
Great discerning eye….and very neat photos Scott….always something interesting going on here……I should-ought-better learn from this ….never think of getting down and personal with the vegetation……….perhaps I should drink more, then falling over would become a habit…..
Thank you, John…and yes, the falling over might become more of a habit, but I would imagine that it’s rather hard to make the wonderful photos that you do if it became too much of a habit…and you’d get a bit wetter over there than I would here…. 😉
Very pretty.

Well…it was from a week or two before I posted the photos…but yes…lucky bastards, indeed…thank you, Emilio. 🙂

Thank you, Chillbrook.

Very evocative and meditational. The fourth one’s my favorite. Hope you didn’t get too wet lying prone to make the shots.

Looks like we’re getting to the end of autumn leaves when you’re shooting them with raindrops on the ground. Lovely images, as usual.
November 8, 2012 at 12:35 pm
Oh yes, they were mostly on the ground, Gunta, very little still on the trees. I’m glad you enjoyed the photos. 🙂
