Brand New Life
I know, “it’s just a leaf”... but in my mind, this is an amazing example of the new life that is born in the spring.
This macro photo was captured with a Canon EOS 10D using a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro prime lens. The shutter speed was 1/60th sec at f/4. The camera’s ISO was set to 400. A Canon MR-14 Macro Ring Lite flash was mounted on the lens and used in Auto Mode #3. A Manfrotto tripod was used with a remote shutter release.

Just a leaf but taken so well!!! Love the shiny light green almost as it is still stretching to it’s full length.

Thank you very much! This was one of the very few times that I used a special “macro ring flash” outdoors. I am so pleased that you like the results! I really appreciate the “FAV”!
