Hi all. I'm still new to LF photography, but I figured I'd give the leaves a try. This is from a walk this past Sunday. I'd appreciate any feedback or suggestions on photographing subjects like leaves!
James,
I'm not that keen on your composition, and the few out of focus leaves distract me a bit, but I think that your tones and the sense of depth are both very nice. However you are getting from negative to what I'm seeing on my monitor seems very successful! I suspect you will be turning out some really wonderful work soon.
Thanks h2oman. I'm definitely looking to improve my compositional skills, and I certainly agree this one could be much stronger. It seems that some folks can reach into a pile of leaves and find a photo. This was one of my first attempts trying my hand at that
