leaf me be by maggiemae

leaf me be

An almost perfect and tiny little leaf blew in the back door and it got picked up and photographed. Trying to get a dark picture and still definition took ages.

Three good things:
1. I like trying.
2. John made a new bird table as the blackbirds were using our deck for a toilet!
3. Poppies growing wild at the bottom of the garden.
Wonderful lighting over this leaf, I like how it borders the leaf.

Just lovely

Love the lighting! Nicely done!
December 7th, 2014  
Yes, I agree; the lighting round the leaf is fab at highlighting the detailed shape. Good against black, or is it low key?
December 7th, 2014  
@callymazoo Its low key, Cally - finally got there after using about 6 different settings on my camera.
December 7th, 2014  
@maggiemae woohoo. I usually do it by accident and then pretend meant to , but can't do it if I tried. ;-)
December 7th, 2014  
Fantastic low key. Love it.
December 7th, 2014  
@callymazoo I do it on manual then reduce or increase the speed till it looks almost black in the view finder. I think 'woohoo' too, thanks!
