eirie.. and symbolicly it's called a bleeding heart flower which adds to the dark feeling. Taken with 35mm film iso 400 with a 1979 Nikon EM.
Anyone know what these are?

Dicentra. "Bleeding Heart"
Thanks Eric!
Taken in our back yard. The sun was shining through the flower. Three different angles for three different backgrounds. Pretty neato.
In the garden at our old house, our bleeding heart plant didn't get anywhere near as huge as this one at our new house. It's like 2 feet high by 3 feet wide -- if not more, and the foliage stays up through the first frost. It's one of my favorite plants.
Indoor studio shot. I use the word "studio" loosely. I have black fabric that I drape over a large piece of cardboard leaned against what ever is handy to keep it upright on my dinning room table. I sit the vase about 3 feet in front of the black background. The further the better. There is a window behind me. I try to keep as much light off the black background as I can. I recently started using a ring light. Camera light meters will overexpose the subject in an attempt to make the background lighter, which is not what I want. I almost always compensate at least -1 but more often greater. I increase the contract during post processing to make the background darker black. The idea is the under expose the background, hopely by at least 2 stops. I see somewhat gray backgrounds in a number of photos like this. It is best to turn the light off at night when processing photos like this to make sure the background is black. I didn't do that with this photo and other photos I took a few minutes ago so hopefully this has a truly black background. I am not sure if this is the correct way to do this, but it seems to work for me. IMG_3599
