raindrops coalescing on the ferns.

A mimosa sapling, I believe--though of course, a series on the invasive landscapes of Georgia would pretty much be a license to print money in these "woke" times.

Seriously, though: that's a shot I'm going to study...that (very!) wide angle/pano combination really seems to deepen the frame in a way I hadn't considered before. Maybe I need something shorter that 180 in my 4x5 kit after all...)

Ah I see, yes I just kinda call that general leaf shape "ferns" but you're right. There was some flowering mimosas on the other side of the lake. I like the pink "flowers" on those. I didn't know they were invasive...yesterday I did see some kudzu taking over a massive area of land. That's the default when I think of "invasive!"

LOL I probably shoot less than 10% of my photographs on 4x5 with longer than a 150mm! Cropped a little on the sides, this would be like a 47mm XL with a 6x12 back. I was only a few inches from the leaves. This makes a very different "feel" to the image compared to a normal lens.

I like the tones. When I think of landscapes, I think of grand, sweeping views with a horizon. But that's just me.

Personal (instead of grand) landscapes...most of my landscapes do not have any sky. Nicely seen, Corran!

Thanks Vaughn. I get that tuco, though "grand sweeping views" are not so common here . No one looks at the "Leaves" thread anyway .

I like this one. Very crisp with nice shadows and light.

I like, I feel cold looking at this.

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good, as they say. Today I went out to shoot during a lull in the rain, but where I was planning to go was closed when I got there. So instead I went to one of my local places I go when I just want to shoot a frame or two and when I got out where I wanted to be, it started pouring rain. Luckily had the forethought to bring my umbrella. Then after that died down, the clouds went away and weren't interesting anymore. But then I looked around and happened upon this scene in the undergrowth. Beautiful pearls of light, the raindrops coalescing on the ferns. About 30 seconds after I made this image the sun came out and blasted the delicate light into oblivion.

Wehman UL 8x10, 4x10 DDS, Schneider 90mm XL @f/64, 3s exposure on Ilford FP4+ developed in HC-110 dil. B for 10 minutes at 75F (N+2 or something):

Well done, this would make a nice wall hanging. Seems peaceful.
