Great capture of the mist. The detail the RX1 produces is amazing.

Thanks John,

The RX1 is an old camera but quite remarkable. If I had photos from a Powershot, I would share them but sadly I don't have many that I haven't shared already.

Nice photos, Dors

I'm not too sure how "CTF" started recently but I'm thinking "Canon Talk Forum."

It was the creation from sue anne's hosting. I believe it should actually be MC 568 for this current MC,

The next host should change it to properly reflect the next Mini Challenge.

I agree with bgreg. The challenge "Autumn" is Mini Challenge #568. The winner will be hosting Mini Challenge #569.

I digged into history and reached to this:

I like the perspective on the second one.

This is a beautiful tree in our front yard. It has deep purple leaves all spring and summer, and in the fall the leaves turn red and then orange. A few of the leaves, maybe 2% of them, and they're generally the largest left on the tree as they begin to turn, will develop the pattern you see of golden-green 'panels' which are most interesting to me.

Thank you for sharing this image. The pattern is, as you say, interesting. Any idea what it's due to?

[gloaming]

I'm afraid I haven't a clue. I will attempt to get a reason in the next while by doing a google search and reading up on the species.

 

[gloaming]

No luck. I believe the specie is a Cotinus Coggyria "Royal Purple", but can't be sure. None of the many sites I scanned offered an explanation for the panels, and none of them even mentioned the phenomenon. :-| Lots of bing image examples, though, showing leaves with the same panels.

What is CTF?

I think I asked this in a prior challenge thread. As I recall, this was intended to denote "Capture The Flag," describing the nature of the mini-challenge concept where the winner earns the dubious reward of hosting the next round.
