I purchased a new lens and flash equipment and I tried my hand at a still life. I borrowed my wife's house plant for a subject and this is the result.
You do not have to travel to exotic locations to make great photographs. I consider this photograph to be one of my best and I found these leaves in our front yard.
This tree is located right next to a wooden boardwalk. I have photographed this tree on two different occasions. Before I step off the boardwalk to make the photograph I first get down onto my belly and look under the boardwalk. Then I swish the legs of my tripod through the grass just to make sure there are no "critters" in the area.
These curvacious leaves were found at the Boerner Botanical Garden, Franklin, Wisconsin
