Hills of Calla

Uploaded: September 23, 2006 06:56:54

Description

F 20 sec, 4 sec, ISO 100. Circular Polarizer and extension tube used. This is an upclose shot of a Calla Lilly leaf. I placed the leaf on a reading lamp to get the light to shine through and it browned the leaf to give these tones.
