On Borrowed Time


On Borrowed Time
The last maple leaf left on the tree; praying it would stay there until I had completed taking the photograph.  Photographed at Westonbirt arboretum on a sunny afternoon in November 1999 using a combination of differential focus and a long lens to blur the sunlight highlights in the background into aesthetically pleasing patterns of light & shade.  The addition of a very thin smear of petroleum jelly on an old lens filter complements the composition by generating a flare from the leaf. The final and most important element is the way in which the tortuous shape of the highlighted twig to which the leaf is attached leads the eye around the image, finally coming to rest on the leaf  gloriously coloured leaf itself.  Photographed pre digitally with an Olympus OM2 in combination with a 70mm - 200mm lens onto the classic Fujichrome Vulva 50ASA slide film.
