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.

Thanks Gudrun................I think being in lockdown for most the past year has forced me to try new things and subjects.
