From Land's End To John O'Growth
Photographs copyright: DAVID McMAHONI shot these about an hour ago, in a friend's garden. I had to compromise on the exposure of the first frame (above) because I wanted to capture the delicate shadow on the new leaf - but this meant shooting straight into the sun. This in turn caused the blue "flare" that you can see clearly in the top left corner. The second shot (below) was taken from about thirty degrees away. Seems to have worked, don't you reckon? The colour of these leaves always intrigues me and at this time of the year, you see the brilliant red hue of the new leaves along with the glossy green of last year's growth.
