I'm an early riser, often getting up before the sun, but I've seldom gone out with my camera to make use of the sweet light of dawn. I planned to do just that this morning but I ended up staying up way too late on the computer. I missed dawn by about 30 mins but the light was good so I made the most of my time out.
This autumnal leaf trapped under a small waterfall was taken handheld with a 1/3sec exposure. I crouched down, remaining as still as possible and held my breath whilst I squeezed the shutter release. Although image stablisation was on, the sense of movement I wanted to capture in the image disguises the movement it couldn't correct for. I wasn't sure it would come out at all, but I was quite pleased with the end result.
