217/365 - Jim - Red Maple

( f/8 200mm 1/160 sec ISO 200 Nikon D300 )

I took a similar photo the other day, but I chose a different photo to post. I liked it enough to take another one today. The late day light behind the leaves illuminates the leaves to a very vibrant red. It's almost hard to tell whether this is a spring or fall photo.

187/365 - Jim - Tulip Drip

( f/45 105mm 1/5 sec ISO 200 Nikon D300 )

I noticed yesterday that the rain laid on the tulip leaves really nice. I wanted to get a photo of it, but it was too windy to get a macro shot. Today I cut a leaf off and brought it inside by the back door to make it look like it was outside. So you can see my back yard in the drip.

019/365 - Jim - Camo Tree

( f/9 70mm 1/320 sec ISO 200 Nikon D300 )

Theme is leaves. Matt and I attended a Flickr Photowalk at Nine Mile Run in Pittsburgh. The trail was really nice and there were a lot of fall colors. I didn't get all that creative with my shots, but this tree was pretty interesting. There are a few leaves on it hanging onto summer.

007/365 - Jim - Drop of Time

( f/22 200mm 1/40 sec ISO 200 Nikon D300 )

Theme is time. I got the Canon 500D close up lens in the mail today. I wanted to use it immediately and had this idea to get a water drop. Not knowing how hard it would be to set up and get right, I went to it. Turned out to take quite a long time and didn't give me the exact results I was after, but I learned in the process.
