Description


Another shot of backlit leaves taken at a local park in the Chicago suburbs. This was a good learning experience for me. It gave me a chance to experiment with the different light metering modes. This was taken with spot metering which I locked in on one of the darker leaves to keep the picture fairly bright.

F/8 - 1/640 sec. - ISO-400

Comments welcome and appreciated!


Exif: F Number: 8, Exposure Bias Value: +0, Exposure Time: 1/640, Flash: flash did not fire, ISO: 400, White Balance: manual white balance, Focal Length: 135mm, Camera Model: Canon EOS 40D
