A simple leaf

I love taking shot's of flowers and leaf's ect. One of the main problems is that of getting the subject to stay exactly where you want it. Searched fleabay and came accross this used by modelers ect for holding work steady. It came with a small magnifying glass attached, easily removed. It then provides you with to clamps to hold your subject, and all for a fiver.

The background is a cheap perspex photo frame with black paper in it and side lit with a cheapo clamp light and energy saving bulb, again a few pounds of fleabay.

Nice shot Snappy, and thanks for pointing out the model holder thing. I could really have done with one of those a few days ago. Have bought one now!
