Reflecting On A Sycamore Leaf

This is a large leaf (bigger than my hand) that I found at my sister's, and brought home to exploit. I like the shapes and textures, and lit it to emphasize those characteristics.

 

Lighting stuff: I used side lighting here to create the shadows that reveal shapes and textures. The light was a YN560-III in a 24 inch soft box at camera right, and very close to the leaf. Fill light came from a small mirror at camera left. The flash, in manual mode was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

 

I find leaves to be beautiful and have an album of leaf pictures.
