Macro & PixelBard
Hey Macro, I’ve been building a pixel art forest and can’t get the light on the leaves right—any photography tricks for catching those subtle shifts?
Hey, the trick is to think of light like a living thing—so watch it change. Try shooting when the sun is low, maybe early morning or late afternoon, when the shadows are long and the leaves get that warm, golden touch. If you’re stuck indoors, use a small reflector or a white card to bounce light onto the green, and keep the exposure a little under‑set so the green stays vibrant. Also, take a few shots from different angles; sometimes a slight tilt can make the veins glow. Patience is key—wait for that soft mist or a gentle breeze to move the light, and you’ll catch those subtle shifts. Good luck!
