Lily

As I couldn't go out yesterday as we had workmen in to do some fence repairs, I decided to try some more tabletop photography. For this one I "borrowed" a lily flower head from a bunch of my wife's flowers. I used a large piece of black card as the background and a white insert from an old framed photo to frame the flower.

I really need to sort of some decent background material........card is OK, but it still reflects light a bit and is prone to scratches. Also in close up images you can sometimes see the texture in it as well. I think some sort of black velvet material would be better and I intend to investigate that.

I also need to sort out some proper lighting. This was made using natural light from the window and a white piece of card as a reflector. It works but is unwieldy.

Actually, what I really need is a home studio :-)))

Anyway, hope you like this one. I have some more to share in due course, but don't want to bore you.

Go large for best effect. Thanks for looking.
