Ever since I left the Police to start up my photography business I have always had a mischievous desire to flout the regulations, in this case those to do with photography and in particular the one that says thou shalt not blow out the highlights, had I followed that doctrine the leaves would have no coloured translucent luminosity, they would simply have been silhouetted. Beech leaves in particular like to spread their twiggy branches in a flat plane so that all the leaves receive the same dose of sunlight. the benefit is that even with a relatively shallow depth of field everything is in sharp focus and I can choose to handhold at moderate ISO.
