Tones And Textures In A White Rose
This is a white rose that I converted to black and white using Nik Software's Silver Efex Pro. The little bit of color in a white rose wasn't exciting, but I liked the shades, tones and textures, and thought that they would lend themselves well to black and white.
Lighting stuff: I wanted to backlight the flower, so I positioned a YN560-II in a Rogue Grid behind the flower at camera left and then used a hand mirror in front at camera right for fill. The flash, in manual mode, was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other pictures that were either taken in black and white or converted to black and white can be seen, logically enough, in my Black and White album.
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. In the description for that set, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash. www.flickr.com/photos/9422
