Fall Colors in A San Diego Leaf

I was walking in Balboa Park in San Diego this morning when I saw this colorful leaf on the ground and thought that it would show wonderful color if I brought it home and backlit it.

 

Lighting info: I hung this from a light stand and put a Strobie 130 in a Rogue grid behind it to provide the tightly controlled back lighting that I wanted. The flash was in manual mode, and was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

 

Because I've taken so many leaf pictures, I finally created an album where they can all hang out together. If you like that sort of thing you might not hate my Leaves album. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157649845311287/

 

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. www.flickr.com/photos/9422

 

If you like images in which color is the primary ingredient, you might not hate my All About Color album.
