Roses and off cord flash

[Ally]

Hi All,
I've been getting to know my flash a bit better for the past hour or so. We've got some nice roses in the house so I just got them found a nice clean background and messed about using the light from diffrent angles and changing the quality. I was really happy with the results and I've worked on them in DPP from canon for a bit and I'm very happy indeed. I hope you enjoy C&C Welcome.

There all very good shots. Strangely I find myself preferring the mono shots - particularly the first one - very crisp capture of the droplets and the lighting works well imo.

The shot with the pink rose, to my untutored eye, appears a little too bright in the centre and too dark at the stem. The yellow one is better lit (again I have little experience in the lighting game - just my own thoughts!)

Which lens did you use for these?

Look pretty good to me.

Have to agree that the second one needs less light at the center and more on the bottom.

Nice shots.

#2 is especially good IMHO

The Mono's in particular look good.

You've made me want to go and play! Occasionally i have used diffused flash but not tried directional on flowers - having seen thes i will experinemt. Hope you didn't get told off for getting the surfaces and floor too wet!

I quickly got it cleaned up before my mum saw it, or all hell would have been let loose!

Thanks for the replys
