My Camera Lens is a Magician :)
This photo just amuses me. I love how the leaf looks like it’s floating. My camera lens is either a magician, or perhaps that magic wand that I shot a while back is. 🙂
This image was taken after Halloween. My neighbors hadn’t (and still haven’t 😉 ) taken down that spider web type material that they have on their wall. This leaf was caught in it, and I liked how the leaf and its shadow looked, so I decided to take a photo.
Shot with my 105mm lens at f/9.

fantastic… really a magic photo with great effects and with the leaf shadow doing a even better effect to it 🙂
Great job… and pray that they don’t remove that yet so some other surprises might appear 🙂
Thanks so much, Filipe! Glad you can see the magic in the photo. 🙂
I always though you have a magical camera because all of your pictures are so captivating 🙂
Ah, what a nice thing to say! Thank you, Kristina!
And there it is, hanging, trying to reach its shadow… 😉 Nice one!
Thanks so much, Marion!
That is pretty awesome!!! LOVE the effect of it- shadow and light- it does look like it is magical!
Thanks, Amber! So glad you see the image as I see it! Sometimes, I’m not sure, if I’ve just got some crazy eye. 🙂
Awesome shot!
Thank you so much, Nicole, and thanks for visiting my blog! 🙂
I love this picture. I think it’s one of my favorites of yours! 🙂
Ah, thank you so much! Glad you like it. 🙂
Cool picture! I’m saving up for a second lens!! =D
Ah, great that you’re saving up for a new lens! I want a new camera. 🙂
Oh my gosh, I hadn’t noticed that when I first saw it…very good eye Katie!
Thanks, Charleen!
A very nice visual effect, Katie.
Thank you, Bob!
Very cool shot!
Thanks, Adrienne! 🙂
Surely your camera did a magic, but real magic is in your eyes Katie. I like that you captured it. Great outcome, and so nice to look at. 3D effect!
🙂
Ah, how sweet, Nandini! Thank you!
That is really cool.
Thanks! 🙂

Glad you can see that Eden! 🙂
Great find! Made for a wonderful image!
Thank you so much! 🙂
That’s so impressive!
Thank you, Rebecca!
Lucky they left the web! Lovely shot.
Yep, lucky they left the web! 🙂 Thanks, Julia!
It may sound strange to say this, but I really like the brown color in the leaves. Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you, and Happy Thanksgiving also! 🙂
Very cool, Katie!
Thanks, Gracie!
Good composition, Katie.
Thank you, Syncy!
Floating leaves, excellent! Now that’s magic 🙂
Glad you can see the magic, Mufidah! 🙂
Hi
The best photography is when someone sees something that they recognize is actually deserving of a photograph…. 99% of people would never see the opportunity….
This shot is in the 1%…
Occasionally I get there myself, but not often enough…
The best photographers are the ones that stay open to these opportunities, so I hope you’re already looking for the next one.
Great work.
Thank you! Yep, the 1% notice things. Thanks so much for your comment and visiting my blog!
Terrific shot! The angle and shadows definitely make the leaf look like it’s floating. Nice complimentary colours too! Cheers!
Thanks so much, Steve! 🙂
My neighbors left their icicle lights up since last Christmas…nothing but dust to photographically report! 🙂 Happy Thanksgiving, Katie! — Susie C.
We have similar neighbors! 🙂 Thanks, Susie!
I like the effect, Katie. The DOF control made this image sing. Have an outstanding Thanksgiving.

Thanks, Jim! 🙂
If i didn’t read your explanation,I would have thought there were 2 leaves. That shadow really gives great effect on the photo
Yep, I agree, Novroz. The shadow really does help. 🙂
I see I’m not the only one that (at first glance) thought there were two leaves. 🙂 It’s kinda like a Peter Pan leaf trying to catch it’s shadow! Great shot…
LOL! 🙂
Its in the circus and walking the tightrope!
🙂 fun shot
LOL! 🙂 Thanks, Cin!
you have a great eye for these photo opportunities!
Ah, thanks so much! And thanks for visiting my blog. 🙂
the shadow completes and complements the otherwise delicate subject !
I agree! Thank you! 🙂
that is pretty cool
THanks, Chloe!
Great photo; love the effect 🙂
Thank you so much!:)
Hi Katie – I love this shot! It has a real life/cartoon look to it. My immediate impression was of a leaf being blown about in a strong gust of wind! It was the ‘spidery web stuff’ and the way it streaks across the image that gave the impression of a gust of wind! Great stuff, Katie!
Cheers
John
Thanks, John! 🙂
I particularly like the way the webbing moves effortlessly across the lower leaf, forming an abstraction. Happy holiday, Sally
Thanks, Sally. Glad you see that. 🙂
Beautifully composed Katie! Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you, Cee! 🙂
Only thing that is missing… magic wand. Great shot there cheers!
LOL! 🙂 Thank you for your fun comment.
Beautiful! You are a real Magician 🙂
LOL! Thank you! 🙂
You certainly took a good decision, when you saw this scene and took this great shot! The magazine, shadow, background and fine lines from the web forms a super abstract image!
Ah, thanks, Truels! Glad you can see all that. Truly appreciate your comment. 🙂
Love this shot… love the shadow mirroring the leaf…. GREAT eye.
Ah, glad you enjoyed this image. 🙂
