Dear Surapon,

I like the first photo of the leave ... it is very nicely lit.


Thanks you, Sir, Dear Rienzphotoz.
Have a great work week.

Thanks for bringing this up, I absolutely love back lighting and do it very often.

In my experience, the problems are a) the limited dynamic range of Canon @low iso so you need some kind of fill flash or risk blown highlights, b) Lightroom isn't ready for it, the highlight recovery & fill shadows sliders aren't strong enough so you need to revert to some special software or method (DxO, Photomatrix or fake hdr/fusion with enfuse or such).

I took that one late in the day last fall. Just happened to look down, on my way out, and noticed how the sun was illuminating some leaves. I think it is some sort of ground cover. If not, seedlings that preferred to stay low to the ground :) I'm not a plant expert.

Had to bust out the camera and take a couple of pictures. A couple turned out nicely.
