fall sights (and random textures): part two

We’ve had some beautiful warm sunny days this week, and although there has been a cool breeze blowing, Alana and I decided to lay on a blanket in the front yard a few days ago. While lying there with her, I grabbed my camera and started looking for cool colors and textures…and this blog post is a result of my quest.

I was using the 100 mm macro and because I was shooting at f/2.8, I have a super shallow depth of field in many of these which is fun and adds interest to the texture shots, in my opinion:)

Enjoy!

I like these bunches…get it – like bunches of flowers or bunches of leaves. GET IT!?!? That leaf seriously looks like leather.
