The color was amazing! As soon as the leaves begin to turn this fall, I'm going to do that 'indoor-outdoor leaf photography' again.

With our kids we have done some leaf pressing and shadowboxing, but building a leaf studio is a whole new twist on what to do with the souvineers that come home with us after walks. Thanks...

You would need to have a very clean window because any dirt would be in the same plane of focus as the leaf. Or at least you would need to be prepared to clone out ant dirt. You would also need to be careful with any reflections from inside the room - using a large aperture would help. However, that isn't how I took this one - it was dangling from a Virginia creeper just under the porch where it is naturally sheltered. Anyway - looks like a good tip for isolating the leaf from the background! Yes – a very good idea.
