Strawberry leaves

I snapped up the strawberry leaves from our planter just as they started to turn, a couple of weeks ago.  Came out rather nice on MGV RC paper, I thought:


Strawberry leaves, 2020.  Nikon F3 and a 28mm or maybe 24mm lens, if you care about such things. HP5+ in ID-11.

It's rather satisfying when you take the camera for a walk around the garden - a place you've walked around thousands of times - and find something new worth snapping up.  It doesn't always happen, mind you.  I guess that's the challenge we all face - to see familiar places with fresh eyes, since you can't always be going to new places.  It's not all about the light, although there's no doubt that's the dominant entity in this whole process.  It's about form and shape and lines and pattern as well as shadow and that other thing.

  1. That's just stunning. Excellent contrast and tonality.

  2. That's a great print, as Jim has said. I don't think I've been on a proper photo outing in a few weeks. Time to grab the tripod and go somewhere.

    1. Cheers Marcus. Me too! Our weather is very changeable right now...from light rain to heavy rain lol so it's not very welcoming out there.
