I've had the idea for a while to shoot some macro shots of flowers, and I've also wanted to get my hands on the PB-5 bellows extension tubes. I'm so glad that I experimented with both in the same shoot. This is the first series of flowers from that shoot. This is a Gerbera Daisy, they are the 5th most used cut flower in the world (according to Wikipedia...).
On a side note, there is nothing better on a bad day than getting in the studio and shooting flowers. Flowers are such happy things, it's hard for me to be sad while working with them.
The lighting is very nice. I love the simple, clean look of the photographs. Also, photographing these would make me happy too!
ReplyDeleteThe first one is my favorite, I like the detail you can see. Very nicely done and the last image is very cute!
ReplyDeleteI really like these Liz! You did a great job with the bellows and getting great focus. Nice way to knock it out of the park.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work! These images put me in the mood for spring!
