- One by One by D.R. Keck Photography
Facebook/D.R. Keck Photography The premise behind this photo is absolutely cool. Per the photographer: “I have been working on this image for awhile taken back on Oct 28 2015. this is a composite of 200 images with basically each leaf you see falling a seperate image stacked, aligned, and the background masked out except for the leaf. The image was made over a 15 min time span as I waited for a leaf to fall out of the tree…” The result is a phenomenal picture!
