p.1 #1 · Same Orchid, Same Background


Admittedly, I am a true ameuture. I love taking pictures and have begun playing with studio lighting and flash lighting as well.

These shots are the same orchid with a white seamless background. I find it interesting how shutter speed, aperature, and ISO all have an effect on the photo.

By the way, the first was taken with two flashes, a 430exII on camera and an off-camera 580ex.

The second was taken with only a 580ex.

Please feel free to offer your input, ideas for improvement, or any comments as you see fit. It is always appreciated!

Regards,

Mike

I like them, but I'd like them better if they were a little sharper. (I know, I sound like a broken record.)

Also, for the first, the bit of stem peeking under the blossom is a little bit distracting to my eyes:

Not a broken record for me, I appreciate the thought and I have to laugh because after I posted these, that same piece of stem caught my eye. Oh, and here is a very quick edit based on your comments..... sharpened and removal of stem.

Thanks for your time!

Mike

The redo of the first makes it more luminous. Very good.

I like the first one better before you sharpened it. It looks too harsh and bold or something. It looked more delicate the first time you posted it. Just my opinion though. Good job!
