The Leaf Of The Calla
I've long thought that the leaves of the calla lily are almost as beautiful as the flower of the plant. Since the photo club I belong to in San Diego, Polyphoto, is having a contest next month with the theme of leaves, I thought I'd see what I could come up with.
To show the beauty of leaves, I prefer to use back lighting. For this image I placed a Strobie 130 in a Rogue grid underneath the leaf, and then photographed it by looking down on it. The strobe, in manual mode at 1/4 power, was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. Down below in the comments, you can see the setup shot.

Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. In the description for that set, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash, and the equipment that I use. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/
