This image is focus stacked from 9 images in Helicon Focus software. It was kind of a normal semi-beatup leaf that had fallen in the stream near my house. Nikon D800E, 200mm Nikkor macro lens, f/11, 1/25 sec, ISO 500.

Each Autumn, I enjoy wading in the stream near my house and looking for colorful leaves under the water. The effect of moving water on the colors is so interesting at a slow shutter speed. Nikon D800E, 200mm Nikkor f/4 macro lens, ISO 500, 1/13 sec, f/13, tripod.

Built in 1929, El Capitolio in Havana, Cuba was the seat of government until the Cuban revolution in 1959. It now houses the Cuban Academy of Sciences. I had gone on a pre-dawn walk around Havana and circled back via El Capitolio as the sun rose.

I am getting ready to hang a lot of prints at Cafe Metro in Denville, NJ. One part of the cafe will showcase some of the images I took last year in Cuba. Here is a selection of portraits that I made as well as some street scenes in Havana. The people of Cuba were so interesting and generally very willing to interact with me. Many had relatives in the US.
