Flowers Anyone?

Thanks for that. This is one from a whole series focused on the same vase of flowers over time.

My first try at a close up. Quite happy that I managed to get the exposure about right calculating for bellows extension and reciprocity. I probably should've stopped down a bit further though as I would've liked more of the flowers at the rear to be in focus.

Howard,

Beautiful composition and wonderful tonality. I haven't visited this forum for about 2 years, haven't picked up my LF gear in 5 years and haven't posted in this thread since 2012. I spent a couple of hours going thru this entire thread last night and reminded myself of how much I used to enjoy shooting flowers in the studio. I really miss it.

Keep up the good work everyone, I'm getting an itchy shutter thumb again.

Frank was right, 135mm and be there. :>) Impeccable....and I'm not easily impressed.

Really well done Howard. The key and background lights work well together.

Callas: very fine. A pleasure.
