Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent. Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature. Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread. Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Playing with Flash on flower macros
a couple of experiments in flash positioning and exposures. what do you think ?
EM1 l 7.5 l 12-40 l 14 l 17 l 25 l 45 l 60 l 75 l AW1 l V3
This is something akin to taking a butt/arse shot. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Nice lighting, the exposures look spot on with nice golden hues. Steve (Nikon D200/D700)

Not so different. Ditto The subtlety of the colours under the petals is stunning Greg
It's easy to be good... when there is nothing else to do
sb800 fired at +2 from top to try and wash out the colour of the flower. it's actually quite a stark pink colour but i wanted the green to be bright and the petals to be as pastelly light as possible.
sb600 with lightbox fired from behind at +3 to try and highlight the little hairs on the petal. holding a white reflector, (styrofoam), in my mouth  to bounce back the light onto the green base.
f7.1, 1/125s, iso 200. spot meter on green base. why did i go to so much trouble ? buggered if i know. just trying shit out.  EM1 l 7.5 l 12-40 l 14 l 17 l 25 l 45 l 60 l 75 l AW1 l V3
Now that's democratic  Greg
