Slate & leaves

This slate rock wall has been slowly sliding down over the years, with the loose slates mixing in with the old leaves and broken branches near the side of the road. Kautenbach, Germany, spring 2009.

Technical details

Shot on Velvia 100, with Canon 30 and Canon 17-40mm. Tripod was down to ground level and composed using an Angle Finder B.

Why I like it

The nice play of the black slate, the remaining red autumn leaves and the fresh green spring shoots. I also love this kind of wide-angle trickery, the rock wall in the read is in fact just four or five feet away from the front of the picture.
