Description
... in the air ....Shot laying on my back against the tree crowns and the sky. The leaves were falling yesterday and I thought catching a falling leaf was a bit more exciting.
Enjoy & Thank you

That could not have been easy! Great shot! You have a pretty fast autofocus?

I wouldn't have the patience to try to take a shot like this. I'd just glue a leaf to fishing line and tie it in a tree. That said, great focus.

Great job. I've attempted this before, but the blue sky was not kind to me that day.

I shot a few falling into the direct blue sky but the contrast is scary lol

Thank you . And yes and no actually . Timing is what was an issue here and a leaf falling in the right spot, so it took a long time until it finally fell in place ( make that a good 2 hours )

The contrast between the sharpness of the leaf and the blurred background is amazing.

Just a few days ago,i thougt that taking a photo of a leaf while its on air would be great...I also thought that it can be very difficult.I saw your work on the main page,I was just amazed! I'm speechless Tina...

Thank you very much If you try it use a preset manual focus, because auto focus won't be fast enough or do you a favor .

Beautiful.
I was trying to do this yesterday, except I was shooting from the side. Looking up? I'll have to remember that next time it gets windy around here

Thank you I did that before but shooting downwards , which was much easier ( there is an old deviation somewhere which has actually the same title ) . Use a preset manual focus , that will help you immensely
