I assume you must be shooting these at night with some form of artificial lighting. How do you arrive at these striking images? Jim Nichols I shoot them early in the morning in relatively low light at ISO 100 in macro. I look fro backgrounds that are naturally shady to bring out the color. I also often burn down the background some. No magic, just the technique that seems to work best. Thanks for the comment!
