Wonderful, diffuse lighting on the orchid against the jet black background makes the image "Pop". What was your light source? Bob |

My light source was the sun. :-) Though the orchid was actually in light shade, I "cheated" slightly, the background is not a result of camera settings, as is my usual practice, but a sheet of black corflute. |

Whatever corflute is, (corregated or fluted paper?) it works great for you. I frequently use black poster board or a piece of jet black stretch fabric (it doesn't wrinkle) to provide the background for certain pics. The lack of distracting background elements forces the eye to concentrate on the subject.... which seems to make the image pop. Bob |

Corflute, probably has another name in your part of the world. :-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrugated_plastic |
