Location
In a greenhouse.Time
Late afternoon.Lighting
I was without a tripod so I experimented and shot with an aperture and f-stop set for the lightest part of the leaf. The effect was dramtic.Equipment
Sony A-33 dslrInspiration
I saw some lovely backlighting on the plants and thought I might create something unusual.Editing
No, only a bit of levels adjustment.In my camera bag
A dslr camera, macro and telephoto lenses and tripod.Feedback
There are opportunities to experiment everywhere. If you don't see the lighting or subject matter you normally want, play around and you may come up with something spectaular.
