I am looking into various forms of photography and luckily came across a meetup group in Philly holding workshops on various kinds of trick photography.. I have attended a few sessions and now I am hooked entirely.. The only problem is I can not come home and create this setup by myself.. that requires a lot more skills than what I have.. Carpentry, Flash usage, tinkering with electronics.. I would rather drive to Philly and shoot the photos in a studio set up by somebody else..Call me lazy.
One rose.. Few hrs..
Because of this cold weather, I am hesitating to go outside with my camera. So my alternative is to buy some flowers and shoot them at home. My florist is happy to see me every other day..I bought this rose and it looked perfect just the way it is. I tried to shoot it with white, black, natural backgrounds to see what works. I also shoot it in macro mode as macro is some thing I would like to pursue in future. I loved the background as it is much more dramatic but it looks staged.. Next fav of mine is macro shot. But a lot of people told me is that white background is bringing out the delicate essence of the flower.
Grounds For Sculpture
I live 15 minutes away from this place for past 7 years but only after I started photography that I started to visit GFS regularly.. Every time I go there, I come away with beautiful images. For people living close by, I would suggest to visit GFS at least once every season.
