Fong Dog's Lampshade (Fuchsias)

[Alison]

Further to my previous thread (http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=67726) I'm continuing my Baz777-inspired flower steadying and natural light diffusion experiments c/o Gary Fong's dog's lampshade collar.

Does that dog belong to Gary Fong?

Still a work in progress but here are today's efforts

Fully manual (something else still at the experimental stage too)

Auto

C + C would be much appreciated, and thank you for looking :)

Funny how subjective these things are - I not only much preferred the colours in #2 but found it sharper! :lol:

Thanks very much for taking the time to look and comment. The Fong Dog collar now has so many camera cut-out holes in it that I may need a replacement. I'm soooo going to nail this flowers in the breeze/all right light thing........:bat:

Really like these Alison, great use of DOF and nice composition :thumbs:

As John siad, just shame you cropped the bottom on no. 2

Your creative ideas in terms of "making stuff" to improve my shots continue to be a real inspiration Baz, thank you :)

Other half phrases that as "Baz is to blame" when he sees the tracing paper, sellotape and scissors coming out. My dear Mother is rather pleased to see me returning to my Blue Peter phase of yesteryear. I won't tell you what Gary Fong's Dog thinks of it all! :lol:
