Fall Color In Southern California

This is what passes for fall color in Southern California. This is a very small leaf (less than 2 inches at it's widest area) and was growing on a stunted tree alongside a dry creek bed in our neighborhood. The leaf was growing next to some seed pods which I also want to photograph.

 

Lighting info: I like the way that back lighting shows the colors and luminous qualities of leaves so I placed a Strobie 130 in a Rogue grid behind the leaf on the left side. The flash, in manual mode, 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/
