Last Stand

previous / next

This is another from Mohawk Park. This leaf was bravely taking a last stand against the impending winter. I am sure that it has relented by now because winter will come and no leaf no matter how determined can stop it.

Technical Details:
NIKON D700
Nikkor 85mm f1.8
1/2500 second
F/1.8
ISO 250
85 mm

I wanted to express my sympathies and good wishes to the people of India. My heart goes out to the victims of these horrible attacks and their families and loved ones. May the madness come to a quick end and peace and security return.

This photo of the Bucknell Football field is a 2 page feature photo in the Fall 2008 issue of Bucknell Magazine.

This photo of the Bucknell Quad is a 2 page feature photo in the Summer 2008 issue of Bucknell Magazine.

As of July 2008 I have decided to post the same photos on "Parallel Universe" as I do here. It has become too complicated to maintain two different photoblogs on a regular basis. Feel free to visit "Parallel Universe" and look through the portfolio/archives since there are quite a few photos there that were never posted here. I will continue to post on both since each one gets different viewers. I have also changed the title of Parallel Universe to Capture This Photography 2.

Check out my other Photoblog portfolio/archives:

The simplicity of the "lone leaf" makes a fine very attractive image. Well done!

Lovely leaf. Lovely image. You sure "Last Fall" isn't a more appropriate title? Doesn't seem to be standing. :) Ditto on the concern/wishes for India.

I love that play with the shallow DoF. And true autumn colors you have captured here. Where I live, autumn definitely is over and winter started. My kids keep their fingers crossed for a white christmas...
