Back in the autumn we grabbed some leaves and have been shooting them this week using the Adaptalux Studio. We had loads of fun with it, you can watch the behind the scenes video here - youtu.be/iJOzOkP6Ns8
We find that dried leaves present an interesting challenge compared to healthy green leaves. Curling up and losing all their colour means it can not only be tricky to focus, but there can also be a lack of colour and interesting features on the leaves.
Embracing that challenge, we used the studio to back light this leaf. With the lighting behind it, new colours and contrasts are able to shine through where the leaf has decayed. You can also see some green, though it required a little help from the light to show up.
We also shot freehand, as opposed to setting up on a tripod. Shooting in this way, you are able to have a much greater freedom of movement around the subject. This allowed us to quickly explore the surface of the leaves, changing the focal point of the shot and zooming in on specific interesting features.
We wrote up some tips and tricks for shooting leaves over on our blog. You can find the write-up here - bit.ly/DriedLeaves

Sorry for that bad quality, but to shoot a sharp walking dung beetle was not that easy, so I had to push the ISO. The picture took a loot of time in the rainy forest.
