There were many animal related stories that crossed our paths on the way up. First of all, we mistook a turtle as a rock on the road to the reserve. A minute later, it found itself being gently put to the side of the road. Later on, at the reserve, a dog followed us into the woods and happily entitled itself as our tour http://photographyatwork.blogspot.com/2010/12/ap-ehden-nature-reserve.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Qanths)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3353345645146110256.post-4382814428412649239Wed, 01 Dec 2010 18:24:00 +00002010-12-01T21:19:46.563+02:00ehdennaturephotography at workreserveSE The Ehden Nature Reserve is one of the most diverse nature reserves in Lebanon.

After I arrived I learned that the reserves open at 10a.m. Disappointed I decided to take pictures outside of the reserves. I was surprised to find so much beauty. I underexposed this shot so as to make the sun seem cornered or alone.

It is a star that I took a picture of using a zoom lens. I fastened my camera onto a tripod and made the shutter speed 30 seconds. I am not sure if it really is a shooting star or if this photo is the result of camera shake. I'll leave that to you to decide upon.

Both strawberries were on the plate. I was aiming for a simple picture of the small strawberries. The rim of the plate was detailed and full of different colors so I covered it up with a few tissues. If you look closely you can see the shadows of the tissues on the plate since the main source of light was from above.  http://photographyatwork.blogspot.com/2010/07/mp-strawberries.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Qanths)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3353345645146110256.post-3643265691748205629Sat, 03 Jul 2010 19:11:00 +00002010-07-03T22:11:09.690+03:00fungusgreenleavesMPparasitesharp This is a picture of a plant with sharp leaves.
