Backlit Red And Green Leaf - Explored
There's a house in our rural neighborhood that has a tree that appears to be some variety of maple that has leaves that become red and colorful looking in the fall. It's kind of exotic for southern California, and I think quite beautiful. The change in color must be related to shorter days rather than plunging temperatures since it was 90 degrees here yesterday, on Thanksgiving. Now, if we only had some rain.
I put a Strobie 130 in a Rogue Grid behind the leaf in order to display its luminous qualities. For fill I positioned a YN560-II in a 24 inch softbox at camera right. Both strobes were in manual mode, and were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
The Flickr gods has apparently changed the rules again on how images are selected for Explore. There was a time when quite a few of mine made it into Explore, and then a long period where none made it. Who knows what causes these apparently random changes. Rotation of the earth, hole in the ozone layer, global warming, rolling of the dice? It's a mystery to me, but this image is in Explore. The ways of Flickr are not for the mere mortal to understand.
Other images of mine that are in Explore can be seen in my Explored Album.

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
