Light plays brilliantly on every scale. These little moss sprouts are one half centimeter tall at best, most far less. Dew makes them sparkle in the morning light.
This is taken using a consumer digital camera and reversed 50mm Pentax f2.0 prime lens.
Twin drops suspended from the tip of a leaf catch the refracted light from hundreds of other drops which are scattering the rising sun as it crests the horizon.
I like the different focus in the two drops. The right drop is refracting the light in the manner of the bokeh, and the left is close to hard focus. The stretching of the water drop by gravity creates the spark-like effect.
This is a re-release of an old photo of mine. I have done some post-processing on it for noise and color, and I removed a flare artifact I didn’t like. These are things I didn’t know how to do when I took this shot. I am really enjoying the digital darkroom.
Such an iconic Vancouver building. I am really enjoying seeing how they are adapting and playing with it as the headquarters on Fringe Division in the alternate universe on Fringe.
A snowy eve this past week I stepped out with my camera around midnight. I love this neighborhood and its wacky charm. I feel very lucky to have been able to live and work part time just off this iconic intersection over the last two years. This is Maple Tree Square, the intersection of Carrall, Alexander and Water streets. You can’t see the cobblestones in this shot. I need a wider angle lens for these kind of shots.
