Spring Fling
Posted by Susan (Fort Lauderdale, FL, United States) on 24 May 2009 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
More from the "IN HOME" photo shoot......I don't know what these are, but I thought they were just beautiful........It was thundering and lightening outside while I was shooting indoors.....even too windy to shoot them on the patio.......so in the house I was......looking forward to when I can do something like this, and catch these flowers more naturally.....

@Magda: Thanks much Magda.....I'm really starting to love shooting flowers in the house....I may never go outside again.....
Hiro from Kyoto, Japan
Beautiful color and nice selection of background color. Though you want to catch flowers more naturally, I think it would be better if you arranged the flowers.

@Hiro: thank you, I think....:)
@Ilan: Glad you enjoyed the shot...thanks for visiting....
@john4jack: Thanks much Jack......basically just the available light in the room i was in...funny thing....when i told my brother (who is also a photog nut like me), that i had done all this, he asked if I'd purchased "indoor lights" to do my photo shoots!!??!! My response to him was if it's not here in the house...I ain't using it!!

Graham Russon from Cape Town, South Africa
Wonderful shot, the detail and textures are great. The black background is particularly effective.

@Graham Russon: Thanks much Graham...the more I shoot these flowers with the black background (currently a long black skirt and a short black dress!!) the more I like them.....Must take trip to fabric store and buy a few yards of black fabric! :)

Lee from Fort Frances Ontario, Canada
Great creative shooting. And the light is wonderful. Marvelous.

@Lee: Thanks much Lee....Just used the available light that was coming in off the screened in patio, thru sliding glass doors.....and an old black skirt as a background!!!! One gets mighty creative when they're trapped in the house for a month, and starting to get restless!!! You all will probably be pretty sick of all my new flowers in a week or so.......but it's keeping me busy, so that's good!!
willow from Chelsea, United States
Natural or not, these are beautiful. I don't know what they are either.

@Jet: Lighting was c/o nature (natural light coming in thru sliding glass door)..... black background c/o an old skirt!!! You make due with what you have when you're stuck at home!!
