    This week’s Fan Of… is frosty leafs. I spotted these in the carpark on the way to work on a cold morning. The humidity was relatively high, so ice crystals had formed on the leafs. I used my phone inverted at ground level for a unique perspective.

    This week’s Fan Of… is macros in our garden. We recently had a rare bright day where I was able to get out with Snappy & his macro lens. Some of these shots featured in my post for CMMC: November Macro or Close-Ups. I thought I’d share the rest for my latest Fan Of… post.

  • Fallen Leaf In A Puddle

    Fallen Leaf In A Puddle

    I’m still playing with my phone inverted to take shots for that close-to-the-ground perspective. Thankfully my phone has a really good tough case, a Unicorn Beetle Pro by Supcase, as these shots involved the top of my phone case actually touching the water!!! In the last shot & feature image, you can see raindrops landing on either side of the leaf?

    I saw these fallen sycamore seeds on the way home today & couldn’t resist a couple of snaps. We always called them helicopters

  • Fallen Leaf With A Heathery Backdrop

    Fallen Leaf With A Heathery Backdrop

    How fortunate that this fallen red leaf was next to the heather, or did itNope, it was actually between our bins in the front of the house. I liked the pattern & colour of the leaf but not its surroundings; the wee clump of heather in the front garden seemed a much better place for it to come to an assisted rest

    Another Fallen Leaf — Well It Is Autumn

    I’m still playing with my iPhone inverted so that the lens is at ground level. I took this next shot & again, I’m quite happy with the result.

    Whilst cropping it for the feature photo, I came up with a dilemma; do I have the leaf in the top right 3rd or bottom right 3rd. I think it looks better top right, there’s less to distract you from the leaf, though my wife thinks bottom right pulls you into the picture more.

    What do you guys think?

    Top right or bottom right
