Red Maple “Unruly”

Description

A Japanese red Maple photographed on a very windy day. I looked for a backlit situation and used a slow shutter speed to capture the leaves and twigs in motion. In my first attempt I accidentally overexposed the photo but I liked the effect. I continued taking overexposed photos, and this is my favorite from that series.

Exif: F Number: 20, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/4 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 65.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 40D

You did a spectacular job, Monica. I have a red maple right outside my window where I sit at my computer and have taken numerous shot. Got nothing close to this. WTG.
