Autumn Leftovers

oakleaf hydrangea leaves

Like many of you photographers out there,  I've studied the many ways to use  natural light.  I don't know about you , but when I get out there shooting, I sometimes forget all of  "the rules".  If I'm lucky I sometimes manage to find myself in a situation where I just can't miss. This is an example of "backlighting" a subject.  If you go to the Botanical Gardens late in the afternoon., this is what you might find, IF you're lucky .....and look around for it!

Yesterday I stopped by Julie's Sydney Eye blog.  She has a writer's gift that puts me to shame. Her account of the deadly bushfires there and a link to a personal account brought tears to my eyes.  KB at Altadena Hiker got busy and got in touch with Julie.  Help is needed.  Please go to the Red Cross site if you would like to make a donation.  As I told KB, we feel each other's pain here because we are after all,  a community.
