Camellia

My camellias are full of buds, but this was the first one to bloom. It was hanging upside down near the ground. I thought it would make a good one to try out the light box idea from Autumn Sky. Thanks Autumn! The fabric diffuses the light nicely, guess I'm going to go hit the fabric department and get some different fabrics to test. Here is another with brighter lights

Canon PowerShot A95
1/20s f/2.8 at 7.8mm full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Thanks for this link back to LC, Elaine. I'm going to have to give it a shot!
Nice job with yours.

Lovely shots!

Ah, you are lucky ! It will be a dew months before we see them here. I notice quite a few PADders from your part of the world these days. Must be the great light you have !

Elaine this is excellent... It's ironic because I too captured a Camellia yesterday using my lightboxhttp://www.pbase.com/image/38685469/original I am quite impressed with how it evens the exposure. I'm finding the white balance to be the trickiest part and probably needs to be set manually or tweaked some in post-processing. Even setting to Tungsten, I find the image exposes a bit too warm.

I'm so glad that you've tried this, we will have to learn from each other. Bravo on this image.

This is terrific! Now I have to find out what Autumn Sky has to say about light boxes! lol

Good work!

I love the creamy background in this image and the nice rose color. I even like how that one leaf seems to curl up. Very nice composition Elaine.

Your tent worked really well. No harsh shadows but still directional lighting with nice modeling.

I think it came out just beautiful. The color contrast is perfect Elaine.

The soft focus adds a lot to this image.
