Tulip
by

Houston, TX

I'd read on list that flash was a nono with flowers.
But I really wanted to learn more about how to use my flash and the grocery had these beautiful tulips so what the heck.
Worst case is I end up with a bunch of files to delete.
The exercise did help me learn more about flash and lighting - something I hope to do more of in 2009.

This really satisfies my graphical longing, for lack of a better term. It just squeaks by your bluebonnets, though. My pick.

Good for you, I'm glad you stepped out and practiced with flash. More should do so. The secret to flash is to shape it just like you would with natural light. I like flash because I believe it offers more control to place and shape the light. Contact me direct and I can give you more information about flash.
