Well, it's part of a single tree. Um.

Challenge 1 Result / JC / Single Leaf

Leaf, originally uploaded by breadthless.

This is my favorite single-leaf photo that I took this week.

Challenge 1: autumn leaves

Okay JK I am issuing our first challenge! Take pictures of autumn leaves, getting at least one shot you love in each category:

1. Close-up on a single leaf
2. Focus on one tree
3. Broad landscape. (Or, you know, multiple trees, whatever.)

Each of us will post our results next week.

ps: You aren't already all snowed in up there are you? :P

Taken with Nikon D5000 kit lens, auto everything because I still have no idea what I am doing!

My lone attempt at something a little broader, mixed results. I like the sea and clouds, but somehow the composition just doesn't work for me.

Trying a different layout style for the photos. Another macro shot, auto settings. Really need to change it up, but I kind of like this one.
