Flowers at night

Monday, April 19, 2004

This picture is the last of thirty three attempts at shooting the subject. The lighting (at 10:30 PM) is from an emergency lamp with two small fluorescent tubes (not CFLs) placed about three feet away.

I don’t have a high resolution version, but I do have attempt #32 with context and a little too much light, the same view in daylight, the view from above, and an unrelated bonus picture.

Tripods

For the sake of this shoot I pulled dad’s old tripod out of the attic, where it had been lying for the last few years. This tripod is really nice. It weighs a couple of kilos, extends to a height of over six feet, and has two spirit levels and really smooth controls for use with a video camera or for panoramic shoots. The picture above wouldn’t have been possible without this tripod.

Very nice! I like the concept very much...fluorescent whiteness against the darkness - reminds me of angels :D

Good lighting and nice composition.

Stands - they are the best things that happened to photography :)

Very nice! Are these in/around your house? Everyone's a photography warrior now. It is no more cool to hack linux. It's freaky ... ;/

  Yup. All these flower pictures are from the balconies.
  
  My home print server is running Windows again now. Linux on that machine is like a baby that needs a change of diapers every few hours.
