So I thought I'd buy a few flowers and take a photograph of them each... with art prints in mind.
I'm not using a macro lens, and I'm shooting at f32 - so there's a room for improvement in the quality of the image, I know this - I think stacking with a macro rail would be good, but that's further down the line.
I just used a beauty dish for these, keeping it simple with one light.
Straight up, I'm not thrilled about the Gerbera - but then I wasn't thrilled about it in the shop - after picking the sunflower nothing else looked worthwhile, the stock really wasn't too great. However I needed a bit of variety to practice with.
