Day 172

“Flower”

The third photo of my recently bought flowers. That were 4.20 € well spent :-) Another black and white one to keep it alternating.

Tried many different angles, lightning, background. This one was the best (at least in my opinion). Tripod mounted 105mm with f/36 and 15 second exposure. Had to hold a black T-shirt behind the flower the whole time :-D

Today I finished ‘Brave New World’. I hated the first half, loved the second half, but hated the last chapter… and not in the good way like ‘1984′. Tomorrow I will start ‘Kuroi ushio’ by ‘Inoue Yasushi’ (literally ‘The Black Tide’), but this time a german version. Enough english books for February ;-)

And because I did more than that one shot here a rejected close-up!

  • Beautiful shot! I should do something like that one of these days. I keep forgetting how useful black t-shirts can be as a background.
    Not with a flower though. I never buy flowers, my cat has this terrible habit of chewing on them. :(
  • Flowers are really nice models! Won't move, looks great and smell lovely :-D Too bad with your cat eating the models though ;-) Good thing my 3 little turtles are living in a aquarium. But everything I put in there will be destroyed immediately (even plastic plants!).
    I got no real 'studio-quality background' for my photos. For black I use T-shirts, sweat shirts and bed sheets. For white I bought a big piece of cloth in IKEA. Red, green, yellow and blue are covered with uni-colored gift wrapping paper.
