Leaves from Below


Yesterday while writing an essay I noticed that it was sunset so I picked my camera 
and went into my backyard to take photos of the underside of leaves. After taking a few 
color shots, I switched to black and white and tried to single out segments of branches 
that minimalistically hung in front of a monotone sky.



These were experiments, and they turned out nicely. I think that the plain white background 
makes the isolated subject more interesting. Finding low-hanging trees and pointing up 
to shoot is an interesting technique.
