Image of the Week

"Dew Droplets"

Photography has ruined a good walk in the woods for me. Where before I was a confident hiker, gracefully skipping over rocks and roots thanks to my years of dance training, I am stumble and trip my way through the trails, too busy looking at sparkling scatters of light and scouting out the compositional elements like texture and line within Mother Nature's canvas.

This image came about during one of those moments. My "quick" jaunt to the washrooms at the Falcon Lake Campground was delayed by half a hour when I stumbled into a dew-covered, dappled clearing in the trees. This was my favourite exposure because of the way the pattern of lines and texture in the leaves works in harmony to draw the eye to the tiny drops of dew.
