Philippe,totally different from Aram's beautifully ethereal white flower shot - excellent stuff Aram, but white against white does work in a table-top studio setting: A couple from a series I shot quite some time ago - The trick is to separate the flower from the background and then fill the background with 'soft light' in PS and let it overflow into the flowers around the edges, keeping it soft and sharp at the same time( a contradiction in terms, but the pictures show what I mean).
If you overdo it, it looks like this: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DMS/New-Old-Pictures/album150/Crocus_1.jpg.html otherwise like these http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DMS/New-Old-Pictures/album150/Spray_1.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DMS/New-Old-Pictures/album150/Lisianthus_captioned.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DMS/New-Old-Pictures/album150/Calla_4.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DMS/New-Old-Pictures/album150/Calla_3.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DMS/New-Old-Pictures/album150/Calla_2.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DMS/New-Old-Pictures/album150/Calla_1.jpg.html Cheers Douglas Philippe AMARD wrote:
Thanks for sharing the whole series Aram. My favourite is at : <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/winter07/whites/soft-pistel_MG_3075.jpg.html>Shooting white flowers and keeping an idea of volume I find very difficult - and this shot is also vapourous and luminous, hence my choice.thanks again phx Aram Langhans wrote:Snow outside, but some paper white bulbs we bought are finally blooming: http://tinyurl.com/2llyegPut the 100 APO 1:1 on the Rebel and took a few real close-up shots.
