mobile Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 I've been experimenting with my camera, in particular I've been trying to get a black background to my images. Having been inspired by avery's beautiful Heliamphora pictures HERE, I thought I'd have a go at taking some of my Heliamphora minor. I think I need to experiment a bit more with lighting but here's my first attempts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel O. Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Hi Carl, i like your pictures, healthy looking plant as well. I also like black backgrounds, much more than every other background. In my eyes the lighting is OK. Best regards, Dani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobile Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Thanks for the comments I only grow a few Heliamphora and minor is my favourite of them. I'd like to obtain a Heliamphora pulchella one day though as I find its form very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobile Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Thanks for all the positive comments. Setting up for the shots took me quite a while and trying to work out the settings on the camera for depth of field and to make the background black took even longer but your comments have given me the encouragement to take more of this style of photo in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
