Japanese Maple
Uploaded: October 25, 2009
f/18 @ .4 sec., ISO 800, 24mm. The compositional elements I was working for include "filling the frame" and "order out of chaos", namely the numerous, sculptural, moss-covered black branches and thousands of pointy maples leaves. I should also include "working the scene" since I made several dozen shots of this very old, not too big tree. The thin, filtered light lit up the oranges leaves but was not strong enough to support a lower ISO, since I was determined to use a small aperture to preserve detail in as many leaves as possible.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
