Really like the texture and tonal range! Pics like this keep me trying.
Dear Ken,
Wow...
Nicely done.

Beautiful!
Ken, you know how to make a wonderful photograph from such simple and common items... Really stunning...

Looks like Ken’s three leaves are sharing stories about falling from the skies…
Here’s another leaf, who got held up on its way down to the party.
I hope you can see the spider thread suspending the leaf?
I used a Schneider 150mm/9 G-Claron with considerable bellows draw. Despite the magnification, I still had to crop this shot since the leaf stayed small on the film. I think the aperture was fairly open (f/11) for the 1/30th (!) shutter speed. (Who keeps saying to stop this lens way down?) And I was very lucky with DOF. If I had closed down and used flash, I'm sure the soft background would have gone black.
I remember waiting for the wind to still. And waiting… And waiting…

You are a patient person !
Lovely photo !
Also, the G-Claron has great blur rendition. isn't it a Dialyte design ? Those symmetrical designs really do nicely in that regard.
Ken, thanks. Yes, the 150mm G-Claron has a pleasing blur – even creamy in this case.
I must admit, I don’t shoot many LF close-ups, and in this shot, wasn’t paying any attention to the background, or how the lens might render it.
I was just using all my concentration to stop the breeze from blowing & the leaf from twirling.
Then – a lucky moment!
Dear Ken,
Great Subject...
I apologize for the repeat image, but "leaves" seems to be a series that I should review, within my own portfolio.
