This year has brought a lot of changeable weather, wind, rain and now early morning frosts. Fortunately, leaves have some reason to be photographed whatever the weather.

I try not to use any of the automatic settings on my camera if I can help it, but the temptation to take photos using streetlight made me switch to a low light level setting on the camera – I was pleasantly surprised.

Sometimes a scene is worth taking at different times of the year, or because it is in a favourite place.

A close up of a flower’s centre only works if everything is sharp.
A more traditional view of a pair of mushrooms, but despite being a bit ordinary and brown, I think they are quite pretty.

I decided to take a different viewpoint when I came across a large group of mushrooms all together.

The intricacies of nature are often revealed when taking macro shots.
It is easy to pass something every week and think that would make a good shot, I must remember to bring my camera. Next time, take your camera, take the shot and see if it lives up to your imagination.

I have tried changing the sharpness of the images in my new S90, but the results were not entirely expected.

I bought another Canon compact because of their excellent macro capabilities – I wasn’t disappointed.
