a couple of experiments in flash positioning and exposures. what do you think ?

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.

I think that they're cool, especially #2.

Just to be different I really like #1. Can you explain a little about your setup you were experimenting with ?

Not so different. Ditto
The subtlety of the colours under the petals is stunning

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 :lol:

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.
