Robert's Ramblings

This mother's day mum got something a little exotic, these beautiful pink tulips. Of course I had to photograph them first but I want to try something a little exotic as well!

I wanted to back light but I also wanted to show off the beautiful colour. I took many shots with strobe only with a mixed bag of results. Again this was a daylight shoot so I needed to swamp the image with light so keep the background black. In the end I got the effect I wanted by hand holding the strobe behind and using a soft reflector in front to through back a little light to bring out the colour

This image is also a little larger than before as I am experimenting with new sizes for web publishing.
