That was taken when I spent my Christmas-Holiday Vacation last day in the province. And I saw this magnificent, very rich tone of green that the leaf has. Its addictive in a nice way and somehow very natural in its look and in its form.

Behind The Lens

Location

I have taken this photo last year December in our province in Isabela.

Time

Probably around 6:30am.

Lighting

I want it to look more earthy, more natural so the lighting was a bit more dimmed so the details of the leaf and rain drops will be highlighted.

Equipment

Samsung A20 rear cam

Inspiration

I was inspired by the simplicity of living in our province. I am grateful that there are still living entities found just around our house and this photo is a proof. Sometimes, extravagance is found in humble places like our houses. THERE' A STORY IN EVERY LEAF. THERE'S LIFE IN EVERY LEAF. And those veins found on it symbolizes MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS, CONNECTIONS that serve as PASSAGEWAY between the ONE WHO TOOK THE PHOTO and the AUDIENCE. In life, LEAVES are one of the most underrated living entities. But I want to change that by this photo.

Editing

I took a photo of this twice. Its in a manual mode which I am used to. The original photo is almost the same as that. I just edited it a bit in order for the image not to look far from the original.

In my camera bag

Nothing. I don't have any DSLR and short or long lens. Just a phone camera that is always on my pocket everytime I go outside.

Feedback

For me, look for a subject that fits your expertise. Even a simple but very nature-driven leaf can be a great subject.
