Building a Leaf Studio to Capture Fall Colors

If your kids are like ours, they are fascinated with picking up the occasional souvenir while out walking.  Fall brings the opportunity to collect leaves.  In the past we have built shadow boxes and done some leaf and flower pressing, but today I found a whole new twist on leaf artwork.

 

The authors over at digital-photography-school.com have perfected a method of capturing extremely sharp images with natural light.  The secret:  taping the stem of the leaf to the inside of an indoor window and shooting from a tripod.    With no wind and lots of light the results are impressive. 

 

You can read the whole story and look at the results here.
