Back Lit Fall Leaf


After photographing some solo leafs the other day on a solid black back ground I though this also might make a good opportunity to photograph them back lit so the light filters through the leaf and really lights up the colors in the leaf. To do this I put a piece of Plexiglas spanning across the back of two chairs, then I put the leaf on top the Plexiglas and the flash on the seat below pointing up at the leaf. Then from above I took the picture and this is what I got.

Flower on a Light Box


I was doing a little experimenting with back lighting a flower by setting it on a light box. With a subject that has a little bit of transparency to it you get a nice effect with some light filtering through the subject and a nice white background.
