The Golden Hour here finishes at 5.10 pm, so the only way I was going to meet this particular challenge was once again with the help (and encouragement) of my fabulous work colleagues.... and the laneway outside the office.
Thanks go to Bec for being such a dextrous hand model!
@laetitiapetrussa Thanks laetitia - Bec held the leaves in her open hand & then gently threw them upwards. I had the camera on manual focus & continuous shoot mode (6 fps). It took a few attempts to capture the leaves separated like this. I had initially wanted someone to throw them, but that would not have given a vertical drop that I wanted.
@maggiemae Thanks Maggiemae - this is actually a shot I had been wanting to try since the very first day I joined 365 in May 2011 - but it has taken until now for me to learn how to do it, and for the 'stars to align' with the lighting. :) ( bucket list --- ✓ )
another beautiful shot. THe tones are just wonderful and I like the little bit of motion you caught. My attempt at the challenge was pretty pitiful this week but Im set to do better so Im going to continue it into next week. :)
