When in doubt, look up!  This morning I awoke to a very low blood pressure. Sherelene went on to Church as soon as the was sure I was ok and I sat on the couch feeling dizzy.  I leaned back and looked up through the skylight and saw this single Japanese maple leaf surrounded by rain drops!  My camera bag was close by so I grabbed it and with a 420mm lens and was able to capture close to what I wanted in the image!  Even at 300mm plus a 1.4 teleconverter (420mm equiv.) it still was not tight enough for my liking,  so I did a little cropping and this is the final result.  The image was processed with Topaz AI 3 and Photoshop.

 

Technical Notes:   Lumix G9, Olympus 40-150  f 2.8 Pro @ f 16, 1/5ooth of a second shutter speed, ISO 6400, hand held.  The Topaz sharpened the image and eliminated any noise present in the file, of which there was very little.

 

Blessings,
