I wish I was able to offer some CC but my (layman) expertise/interest tends to be around the content, composition, colours & do I like it so again like most/all of your work - I am an admirer :)

I made a stand from some skirting board wood a 12" length of 1" dowel and a couple of clothes pegs - for this purpose :D

8 x 6 x 1" base- 12 " x 1" doweling post and 2 plastic clothes pegs screwed onto the post simple yet effective card holder, also useful for holder smaller items to photograph- cheap yet effective

Great shot Les and thanks for sharing the setup for background. Something else to try I guess if the Sun makes an appearance!

Thank you Bryn, this set up will work in any weather ( apart from Rain I guess)

Give it a go mate, cheap and easy to build

Les ;)
 
Great setup and good result. I'd try and remove those highlights on the rear petals and maybe lift the shadows on the near side (perhaps with a fill flash). I do like having the stronger light behind the subject though, and you are getting some great textures.

Thank you- Tim, I didn't think of using a fill flash, given me food for thought

Les ;)
 
Actually not sure why I put fill flash, I was thinking a bounce card. Much cheaper and the effect is more subtle. Just a sheet of white card off the the left to reflect some light back onto the subject.

Agree that would work I don't have enough hands for that though :D
 
I could or just use an off camera wireless flash! I have 2 so maybe I'll give that a go
