David's Images of the Day Photoblog

A backlit maple leaf. Image taken with a Nikon D3s camera and 300 mm f/2.8 lens. I’ve been playing around with this technique to get glowing images of colorful semi-transparent objects.
It was cloudy and rained much of the day. I did get a chance to photograph a rabbit in my backyard as it was mowing my grass and clover. Also an image of some wet fast growing tree leaves.
