Leaves and Bark...With all of the wind a rain recently huge amounts of bark and leaves had come down from the large gum trees and literally filled the gutters in the street.
I'd been eyeing the piles of stuff for days thinking it might make an interesting subject for some close up photography and I'd better get there before the street sweeper came through and destroyed my chance... So on a recent morning I got out there with my trusty Tamron 90mm macro lens (which I hadn't taken for a spin for a while) and took the following images handheld lying down in the street (hoping not to get run over by traffic - we have a pretty quiet street so I wasn't all that concerned ). As always I'd be happy for any feedback, comments or critique... For the first I know it looks like I planned this but it was a happy coincidence that that insect came and landed on the leaves I was just about to photograph. NIKON D90 + 90.0 mm f/2.8 @ 90 mm, 1/100 sec at f / 13, ISO 200 For the second I loved the colours, textures and twists of these old drying leaves. NIKON D90 + 90.0 mm f/2.8 @ 90 mm, 1/60 sec at f / 16, ISO 200 D600, D7000, Nikon/Sigma/Tamron Lenses, Nikon Flashes, Sirui/Manfrotto/Benro Sticks

Re: Leaves and Bark...Very natural colours and a point of view that we don' normally see. It's great that you have gone to the trouble to take these and post them. That 90mm is a classic and should be worked hard!

Re: Leaves and Bark...Nice perpective. I prefer the first one. It seems more
together because it has a clear subject that stands out.
