Marc, after all these years.. someday we are going to meet and you are going to show me exactly what you do when you get behind the lens.
GORGEOUS! |

I appreciate the nice comments, but I can't take credit for the beauty - I just took a picture of it!
Luinda, most of the time I just close my eyes and slowly turn in a circle while pressing the button. This time I held a full roll of paper towels in front of my flash to create a spotlight. The whole flower in this one is about the size of a quarter. Then, if you want the light to be soft, you hang a single layer of tissue on the end of the roll. (If you use a roll of toilet paper instead of paper towels, you have both handy :)) The tube lets light hit the flower while the fat part of the roll blocks the rest of the light. |

Where is that *jaw dropping* emoticon when you need it? [smiley=JAW_DROP.gif]
Marc, That is one helluva picture. I even understand the *what and why* of what you're talking about. Jimbo was out shooting one day and it was real bright, so, he used his polarized sun glasses as a filter. |

I was going to guess it was a tuberose, but not if it is the size of a quarter. It is beautiful though!
I think I just found a new wallpaper! Jerry |
