A Single Fern


I was backing out of the driveway this afternoon, on the way to the store.  I glimpsed this single frond backlit by the sun, and jammed on my brakes.  I got out of the car and started walking up the driveway to get my new camera, and then realized I had my Canon T7i in the trunk, and if I took the time to get the SONY camera the light might change.  How right I was!  I got the Canon out of the trunk and took this photograph, and then four more.  In the next images, the light was slowly going off the frond - it wasn't evenly illuminated from top to bottom.  So I was lucky that I didn't take time to get the new camera.  This is a beautiful photograph, isn't it?  I love the bright green frond against the dark green ferns in shadow.

  1. It is popping right out of the photo. Amazing how the natural lighting can create this and you were able to catch a great photo.
