Flora on white

This gallery originally started out as a series of test shots: white or light flowers on a white background. For printed materials in general, a white (or transparent) background is preferable, but difficult to achieve with white flowers.

Traditional specimen views and extremely well done... I love this look. Very good gallery.

I'm very impressed; you've succeeded in creating a very water-colour like style here. And achieved extremely good results with flash, which has eluded me so far. These must all be photgraphed in the field, too, which adds to the challenge! Would you share any techniques you use to manage lighting, flash exposure, background, etc?

Thank you eb, these white background shots are proving difficult to do in the field

This is so nice, like in old illustrations of flowers.
