2007-04-12 - Winter Leaves

The mulberry trees are feeling the onset of winter...

This shot was taken one evening as the light was fading. It isn't as sharp as it should be because I had no tripod. Normally I prefer to take shots handheld but there are times like these when it would really help. The problem is, good tripods are not cheap and I've been putting off buying one. It's quite silly really because prices don't seem to change that much and it is something I'll always have a need for so I finally ordered myself one! Believe it or not, it was a much harder decision than any of my previous camera / lens purchases. It also cost considerably more than some of my camera gear but we won't go into that... :-p
