I was visiting a ruin today and was driving out when this vine and shadow caught my eye. I pulled over and grabbed my camera. I didn't take the tripod out so I'm pretty happy to have gotten a clear shot. I have a very shaky hand and normally always use one. I like the opposites in this, from the texture through lighting and subject.
Nice one, Ruth! I especially like that branch floating in the dark void.
1/4000s would freeze just about anything! Good job getting it all sufficiently sharp at f/2.8.
interesting indeed !!
