Hey everyone!
I was outside working in the garden, getting ready to plant the lilly I bought my mom for Mother's Day, when I though, "This would be a great plant to practice on!" So, I quit working, went in the house and grabbed my camera and flash. I really have been trying to figure out this black background concept and I think I've finally figured it out!
CC would be greatly appreciated so I can practice this technique a little more!
Thanks!
Here is the SOOC shot:
I wasn't too thrilled with the background...I still didn't get it completely dark while I was shooting, but it was a lot closer than before.
This is the PP'd one:
I did a painted over the random stuff in the background and sharpened this one a little bit. Thoughts?
Both of these were shot at the following settings:
​
ISO 100
f/29
1/250s
46mm
Thanks!
