Having spent some of the morning up at Julia and James's painting another proper coat of matt emulsion on the first wood panel section I came home to be ready to receive my Amazon parcel - why do they insist on delivering on a day I didn't choose??? Had lunch and then a quick play with a very large leaf that I'd picked up from just up the road. Google Lens tells me it could be maple, sycamore or a plane tree (whatever one of those is?). The trees in that area have those helicopter type seed pods so maybe plane tree is right or maybe a sycamore is of that family? Who knows? Anyhoo I'd seen a similar technique used on some recent online autumn pictures so thought if I could locate a large enough leaf I would have a go.
Harder than you think to hold the leaf in a tube shape fashion and shoot through it, and maybe the camera on a tripod and a deeper depth of field might help, but anyways, was pleased with these few snaps taken literally outside the front door.
Used PhotoScape X (the free version) to create the collage. Sometimes this is easier said than done but worked relatively easily this time thankfully.
