Colors And Textures Of A Reddish And Green Leaf
My wife brought home a Croton Codiaeum plant recently, and the leaves on it are beautiful and a variety of different colors.
I set the leaf down on a piece of black Perspex and then lit it using a manual Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch soft box at camera right and just out of the frame. I hand held a small mirror at camera left for fill light. I used side lighting because that creates the shadows that reveal shapes and textures. The flash and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.
I find leaves to be beautiful objects from nature and have an album creative titled Leaves with over 70 images in it.

Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. For each image in the set, and there are over 1400 of them, I describe how I set up the lighting for that particular shot. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/
