For this photo I got the idea to use leaf spot metering from a most recent post by jimry of the Photography Forum. I love jimry's photo in that post, I just had to try this leaf spot focus as jimry indicated. jimry's photo can be seen here....http://www.renderosity.com/messages.ez?ForumID=12379&Form.ShowMessage=2297202I My shot is a similar subject matter as his, but naturally jimry's is better than mine... I spot metered the bright leaf, using my polarizer... 22 mm, ISO 80, F2.8, 1/60 sec. Digital photo/PS6(slight levels adj., crop, increase saturation a bit, unsharpen mask) ...prob. would have looked better if I just left it alone. :-) p.s. I would say I got lost in the woods for awhile while taking this photo, but that may make me look bad, esp. being the navigator. So I won't say anything. How would you know anyways? I could be joking ha ha ha ha ;-) Thanks for looking, -Peace :-)
