While walking past Gramercy Park in NYC I found these colorful autumn leaves that had blown onto the sidewalk and brought them home to photograph.
I began shooting with the Nikon D7000 and 40mm macro but switched to the D700 and 60mm macro because I knew the image quality would be higher. The photos were taken with an aperture around f/10 to obtain a deep focus in the softly filtered window light.
A silver cardboard reflector kicked some direct sunlight onto the leaf for a more dramatic, sculptural effect. I will probably continue shooting autumn variations while the colorful leaves remain available.
