This morning I awoke to Cherice telling me there had been a frost, now the sun was melting it, there was mist everywhere, it was fall…I’m not sure if she was just being very efficient at getting me out of bed first thing or not, but it sure was a beautiful morning. I decided to only take my 100mm 2.8 macro lens as the colors of the fallen leaves were brilliant in the 90 degree lighting, and the landscape scenes outside the front door (which were in a 15 minute shooting range – for which the light would soon be gone) were not as picturesque as the analytics (details) of the scene. One of my first subjects was a leaf that looked like it was a dancing flame…very cool. Later, I found a really cool leaf with a blade of grass carrying many tiny beads of water across its back. However, upon refocusing I found another view of this same scene through a closer bead of dew, encapsulating the whole event. Although it is not large enough to show all the details, you get the general idea. I’m finding that the mornings are becoming more and more a better part of my day.
