You're going to be in trouble when Ted logs in. Terrific shots by the way, with very high technical quality. The modelling from your light positioning, including the reflector works really well and of course you have the glass to make it beautiful.

Here are two shots of zinnias whose time has come and gone. The first zinnias I've grown as an adult, actually. As I worked with them I thought I'd try to keep Ted's injunction to shoot from the shadow side firmly in mind. I think it works for flowers as well as people. <http://www.idea-processing.com/Images/_L3U4602-crp-shrp.jpg> <http://www.idea-processing.com/Images/_L3U4586-crv-shrp.jpg> Both shot with Canon 1Ds MKII, Leica 100 APO stopped way down, illuminated in the studio with umbrella and a white reflector. Comments on composition, etc, lighting, all greatly appreciated. Adam _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
