First try at flowers in a 'studio'

[thebeginning]

I set up two lights, one just a window, the other a weak overhead light, and one white reflector (a.k.a. a piece of paper ). Unfortunately not a whole lot of shots came out well, but a couple turned out allright. I'll just post those if yall dont mind

here are the experimental shots (most of the 'experiments' were done in photoshop, but some where done with just WB changes on the camera):

thanks for looking you guys!

I really like these shots; especially the first because of the vibrant color in the death of the flower. Did you do anything special for the sheeted background like crumple it up and then hang it?

thanks! and no, it was a bedsheet. makes a nice background, i think.

I'd have to go with the first one here. I think the color really stands out and makes a really nice exposure.

thanks john, the first one is probably my favorite, the first three were the ones that turned out similar to how i wanted them.

Awesome work.

I like the one with the reddish hint the most.

keep up the great work.

Very interesting work here! I do like the sheet background however my favorite is definitely the second to the last shot or otherwise known as #6!!! : )

I hate you. I tried something like this a couple of months ago when I was testing my new camera and they weren't a patch on these. Grrr. :mrgreen:

I'm suprised they haven't go more comments. They're all very good. I love the texture. You've controlled the light and the shadows really show them up well.
