So, day three of playing with a dead leaf.
(Even a cat wouldn’t play with a leaf as long as this). Today I set up the light tent, and put the leaf in it. I lit the tent with a Rotolight Neo, and used the Fujifilm X-T30. I had three objectives:
- To see the effect when I used the LensBaby lens,
- To create shadows by bringing the Rotolight down from the top of the tent tone side of the tent. (Left, so I could hold it by hand, and use the camera in my right hand)
- To mount the Rotolight on the camera hotshoe.

Here’s experiment No. 1, – and a processed image derived from it.


For 2 and 3 I used the 18-55mm Fujinon telephoto lens.

I’ve never had a Rotolight attached to the camera before – and I have to admit I’m quite impressed at how well it performed for this short-distance lighting. It did render the background almost use white.
