Wet Leaves

Posted by Twelvebit (Victoria, United States) on 21 May 2008 in Plant & Nature.

I recently found myself attending a meeting in Austin. Even though midday is usually not the best light for photography, when I'm out of town like this, and have some free time during the lunch hour, I often look for someplace to take photos. This day was an unusual and wonderful day. In the first place, right in the middle of May, it was a cool 70 degrees or so, with a nice breeze, instead of the usual 100 degrees with 100% humidity. And quite by accident I stumbled across some kind of portal that led me into a magic forest, right at the edge of downtown Austin.

@Alun Lambert: Thanks. I was quite surprised by the liquid feeling the image retained at this relatively high shutter speed.

@Anthony Lambert: Thank you. Over here though, in this particular context, "knapping" would be "taking," and I didn't take either the car or the house --they're still in possession of their owners.

@Daroru: Thanks. The leaves in the water are what caught my attention. I was surprised by how liquid the image remained at this relatively high shutter speed.
