Shot in full daylight with Nikon D700 and Sigma 105mm macro lens.
Manual exposure, lit with 230 lumen flashlight.
The flashlight produces a pure white light so there's no discoloration.
The light also has a narrow beam that allows isolation of the subject.
All the flowers are just little wildflowers that grow around the grass at the ski resort where I live.
These flowers were also very small. Nothing bigger than a quarter, so all the shots are heavily cropped.
In August 2008, I discovered for the first time the island of Corsica where I stayed near Porto-Vecchio for memorable SCUBA dives and snorkeling. I did 11 dives with my underwater photo equipment of that time based on 6MP Nikon Coolpix digicam. I came to SCUBA diving through my hobby for horology and, in particular, the dive watches, explaining why there are some close-up shots of my watches of the moments.
I embarked from the mainland in Marseille, France, on the evening of August 18, 2008 and arrived early in the morning in Porto-Vecchio and returned the week after by the ferry in Propriano on August 27, 2008. I incidentally found (seeking for a camping place) a nice lodging in my price range near San Ciprianu where the dive center was next to a paradisiac beach of the bay. I did also one extraordinary dive in Bonifacio, in the Lavezzi Islands, where I met the biggest tame groupers I have never seen before.

My simple underwater housing was complemented by a Sea&Sea YS-27 DS submarine flashlight and a wide-angle Sea&Sea lens. The flash light was synchronized to the digicam build-in flash using an optical fiber cable. I still have the camera, the housing, and accessories in my collection in working condition, as well as an untouched exemplary of the Nikon Coolpix L11 that I bought as a backup in case of an accidental water leak of the housing.
All the views are the camera-rendered JPEG (the Nikon L11 could only provide JPEG). I re-edited them in the latest version of Adobe Lightroom Classic (version 14.1.1). As usual, all views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg.
About the Nikon Coolpix L11 (Wiki) :
The Nikon Coolpix L11 is a compact automatic digital camera made by Nikon. It has a 6.0 megapixel maximum resolution, which can be adjusted, and an ISO up to 800 (cannot be adjusted). It features a QuickTime movie mode, many beginner scene modes, and a sound recorder. The camera uses 2 AA batteries for power.
The Best Shot Selector feature on this camera allows users to hold down the shutter button, and the camera will take ten pictures. Then, the camera will decide which one is the clearest and will save that one only. This is designed for use when taking a picture without flash in a dark setting.

These turned out strange. I shone the strobe up from below my face, so I guess the shadow fell on my eyes.
