Your roses are absolutely gorgeous, Diana! #542323Diana L. Ralph October 18, 2006
Thank you, Nan. I work hard at taking off all the blemishes in PS, but I used some very long exposures, very small f-stop and the lighting was actually created by using my flash in various positions and manually setting it off about 4-5 times for each shot... the flash was used under the flower, and bounced off various white walls in my bathroom, which has a skylite, so I get very soft and even lighting in there without any extra light, but this time I decided to try using my flash and "painting" with light. #3469761Bill Wyatt October 19, 2006
