Some of the leaves were still wet... which looks kinda cool.

I still really like lichen.

I managed to find a twig that had been snapped off a tree. This allowed 
me to take arbitrary close-ups, without having to crawl on the floor. 
(And arrange nice lighting, etc.)

A thousand people a day probably walk over this wooden bridge, oblivious 
to the alien microcosm literally beneath their feet.

Still, if you point your camera at the sky, or at the water at the right 
angle, it still looks moody as hell...

That's a typically human trait. ;-)

btw, I love your photographs.

These are the most difficult set-ups in photography though, and it is 
visibly winter, so no real surprise for the mood. It is a real challenge 
to balance between the brightness of sky and water and the deep shadows 
around.

You can re-balance it in post. But it turns out you can either have all 
the scenery brightly lit (as it actually appears in the real world), or 
you can have bright sparkles on the water (as it actually appears in the 
real world). But you cannot have both. Make it brighter and the sparkles 
go away. It's not a problem with the camera, it's just the limited 
dynamic range of a computer screen, I guess...

I'm quite happy with how these came out though, even if it does make the 
day look *way* darker than it actually was. :-)

Thanks!

"I photograph moss" makes me sound like the most boring human alive. But 
I just can't get over how intricate its structure is. Plus it seems to 
be the most interesting thing around to actually photograph.

Now, laying on the floor in my trench coat, pointing a camera at the 
floor, while surrounded by scenic vistas of the lake all around... yeah, 
I get some strange looks. :-S Still, several people seem to *like* these 
pictures, so...

Next up: either a macro lens, or just a more powerful zoom. Or maybe a 
fast prime. AAARGH!! >_<

You're hooked. No doubt about it.
