Mulberry Leaf Patterns

This is probably the largest leaf to have come from our fruitless mulberry tree all year. It's a great shade tree, but it sure drops a lot of leaves this time of year.

 

Strobist info: I wanted to show the patterns and veins in the leaf so I backlit it by hanging it in front of a 24 inch softbox containing a YN560. The flash was in manual mode at 1/4 power and was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N trigger.

 

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, or fruit 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/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/...

 

This looks best when viewed large against a black background, and you can see it in that enlightened manner by pressing "L".
