Mephistopheles is not your name, I know what you're up to just the same.
Devil and the deep blue sea behind me,vanish in the air you'll never find me.
I will turn your face to alabaster when you find your servant is your master.
I picked this beautiful iris from the garden this afternoon, on the first day of spring, and brought it indoors to photograph where it's easier to control the light.
Lighting: Lit with one Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box hand held at camera left and just out of the frame. Fill light came from a mirror at camera right. The flash and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.

I picked this off of a Poinsettia plant today because I liked the range and mixture of colors that it has.
Lighting: I first placed the leaf on a piece of black Perspex and then lit it from the side with a Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box hand held at camera right. The flash and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.

I love leaves and find them to be beautiful art objects from nature. Accordingly, I have an album with over 80 images in it, and you can find it here if you like that kind of thing.
I photographed this beautiful flower on a January day at a friend's house in San Diego.
I photographed it indoors where it's easier to control the light. We had a dark background behind the flower and lit it with a Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box hand held at camera left and just out of the frame. Fill light is from a hand held mirror at camera right. The flash and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.

I first placed the flower on a piece of black Perspex because I often like to have reflections in my flower pictures because I believe it makes the flower appear more three dimensional and also reveals a different view of the flower.
I lit the flower with one manual Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch gridded soft box at camera left and just out of the frame. Fill light came from a small hand held mirror at camera right. The flash and camera were both triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.
I've photographed a lot of plants and flowers, because they're all around us, work cheap, and never complain. I have an album of these images with over 1300 pictures, and for each one, I have described how I lit them, in case you're interested in lighting.

I like the way that these three flowers that came from the same plant all had different shades and amounts of purple in them. I lit them using two Yongnuo manual flashes in soft boxes placed in front and on either side of the flowers and pointed at the center. The strobes were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.

I photographed this beautiful flower using a two light setup with each light being a Yongnuo manual flash in a 24 inch soft box. The light on the left was the main light which was pointed at the center of the flower at a 45 degree angle. The fill light on the right side was also pointed at the center, but the power output was a stop and a half less than the main light. Both lights and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.

I photographed this flower back in June at the flower show of the San Diego County Fair in Del Mar, California. I did not see a tag identifying the flower, and It's not one that I recognize.
My wife was my voice activated light stand and held a Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box at camera left and just out of the frame. The flash was triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N. I used side lighting because that creates the shadows that reveal shapes and textures.

Talk about an inexpensive model, and very easy to work with.
Lighting stuff: I wanted side lighting for this because light coming from the side creates the shadows that reveal shapes and textures. I placed the edible model on a mirror because I like the extra dimensions that are revealed by the reflection. I used a YN560-III in a 24 inch soft box just out of the frame at camera right. The left side of the pepper got fill light from a small mirror. The flash, in manual mode was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

a narrow shaft of sunlight slices through the silence, catching a solitary figure mid-step. geometry and coincidence fall into alignment for just a breath, where movement meets shadow and time holds still.
I was looking for a subject when I came across this old shell that's been laying out in the garden for years. It's one of the hundreds that we brought back from Baja California, Mexico.
Lighting: I first placed the shell on a mirror because I like the added dimensions that are added to the picture by the reflection. Light is from a Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch soft box at camera left, and just out of the frame. Fill light is from a hand mirror at camera right. The flash, and my tripod mounted camera, were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.

I photographed this beautiful flower last week on the deck of some friends who are serious flower growers.
Lighting stuff: Lit with a Yongnuo manual flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box positioned at camera left and just out of the frame. Fill light came from a hand mirror at camera right. The flash, and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.

This is an old sea shell that we brought back from Baja years ago, and I thought it would make an interesting still life subject.
Lighting: I used side lighting on this because that creates the shadows that reveal shapes and textures. The main light was a Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch gridded soft box at camera right and just out of the frame. Fill light came from a small hand mirror at camera left. The strobe and my tripod mounted tripod were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.
I have quite a few sea shell pictures, and if you enjoy that sort of thing, they're in my Shells album.

This is a large leaf (bigger than my hand) that I found at my sister's, and brought home to exploit. I like the shapes and textures, and lit it to emphasize those characteristics.
Lighting stuff: I used side lighting here to create the shadows that reveal shapes and textures. The light was a YN560-III in a 24 inch soft box at camera right, and very close to the leaf. Fill light came from a small mirror at camera left. The flash, in manual mode was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
I find leaves to be beautiful and have an album of leaf pictures.
I photographed this orchid on Mother's Day in the San Diego Botanic Building in Balboa Park.
I wanted to emphasize the shapes and textures of the petals, so I used side lighting to create the shadows that reveal those qualities. Lit with a Yongnuo flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box hand held in front of the flower and below it at 4 o'clock. The flash was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

After this tulip started loosing petals, I decided to photograph one on a mirror, as I've found that they can become an interesting subject when considered in the abstract.
I placed the petal on a mirror, and then lit it with a Yongnuo strobe in a 24 inch gridded soft box at camera left. I put a little light at camera right using a small hand mirror. The flash, in manual mode, was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. I used side lighting because it creates the shadows that reveal shapes and textures.

This is a petal from an iris that I photographed recently.
Lighting: I placed it on a mirror for the reflections and then lit it with a Yongnuo strobe in a soft box at camera right for the side lighting that creates shadows that reveal shapes and textures. Fill light came frrom a small hand mirror at camera left. The flash was triggered by the pop up flash on my camera.
I've taken quite a few Iris pictures and they can be seen in my Iris album if you like that kind of thing.

as the sun knifes through the facades of madrid, a woman steps into its path — her shadow arriving before her, cast like a memory against the wall. she pauses, maybe in thought, maybe just blinking. the light holds its breath.
PROJECT 14. A little mini photo project to test my newly acquired Fuji X100S that was purchased used. For the next two weeks I'll be putting it through the paces to make sure everything checks out.
Shot with Fuji x100S in Pro Negative High.
Low-key lighting is a style of lighting for film and photography with an emphasis on shadows. That's certainly a medium I enjoy working with and really enjoy making shadows in my photography..
I wanted to emphasize the shapes and textures of this Iris petal so I side lit it. I placed a Yongnuo strobe in a 24 inch soft box at camera right so that the side lighting would create the shadows that reveal shapes and texture. The flash in manual mode was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
I've taken quite a few Iris pictures and they can be seen in my Iris album if you like that kind of thing.
Today, i'll gonna make a break with the minimal architectural style I love.
I'm not really good making portrait... but I try!!!
Clara wearing light...
This leaf came with a magnolia flower, and I noticed that the leaf had one green side and one brown side. Since the brown side showed more of the detail and veins, I decided to document it.
Lighting: I first place the leaf on a piece of black Perspex, and then lit it with a Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch soft box on the left side and another Yongnuo flash on the left side in a 24 inch gridded soft box on the right side. I used side lighting because it creates the shadows that reveal textures and shapes. The strobes in manual mode were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
I find that when I take the time to actually look at leaves, they are often quite beautiful. I've taken enough leaf pictures to put them in an album, and if your interested you can see it here.

From the garden this morning.
Lighting info: I used side lighting here to create the shadows that reveal shapes and textures. Lit with one Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch gridded soft box at camera left. Fill light is from a small mirror at camera right. The flash, and my tripod mounted camera, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

The title is a bit of a reach, but it sounded better than "Remains Of A Bowl Of Jello". I had a bowl of this stuff the other night for the first time in at least 20 years, and I rather liked the patterns in the bowl.
Lighting stuff: Lit with one YN560-III in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box hand held at lower camera left. The lip of the bowl on that side blocked a little of the light there, but I do like side lighting to show shapes and textures. The flash, in manual mode, and my tripod mounted camera were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
I like abstract things, and have put together a small album with some examples.
This is the first of our German Bearded Iris in our garden to bloom this spring, so I thought that it deserved a truly pretentious title,
Lighting stuff: I combined two different types of lighting in this image to get the look that I wanted. I wanted the upper petals to glow so I back light them with a YN560-III in a Rogue grid behind and to camera left. I wanted side lighting as the main light because I wanted to show the shapes of the petals, so I placed a YN560 in a 24 inch soft box at camera right. The strobes in manual mode were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. I took over 30 shots to get it looking just the way I wanted by varying the power and direction of the lights.

From time to time, I like to exploit my food, in addition to eating it. I like the shapes and textures of this garlic and decided to emphasize those qualities using side lighting.
Lighting stuff: I placed the garlic on a piece of black perspex, and then lit it from the side with a YN560-III in a 24 inch soft box at camera right. Fill light came from a small hand held mirror at camera left. The flash, in manual mode, was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. I converted the image to black and white using Nik Software's Silver Efex Pro 2.
Other black and white images that I've attempted can be seen in my Black And White Album.
This is a warm colored shell, and I wanted to emphasize that by back lighting it by I placing a YN560-III in a Rogue grid behind the shell to light up the interior. Once that was set, I used a second YN560-III in a 24 inch soft box at camera right. Fill came from a mirror at camera left. The flash, in manual mode, was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. The shell was sitting on a sheet of black Perspex.
Other images I've taken of sea shells can be seen in my Shell album, if you like this sort of thing.
My wife picked these the other day while we were walking at Santee Lakes, and I was photographing dragonflies.
Lighting. I placed these on a piece of black Perspex and then side lit them with a Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch soft box at camera right. Fill light came from a small mirror hand held at camera left. I used side lighting because it creates the shadows that reveal shapes and textures. The flash was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Unlike photographing flowers, with peppers you can eat the subject when you're finished..
Lighting: First, I placed the pepper on a piece of black Perspex. I Lit it with a Yongnuo flash in a 24 inch gridded soft box at camera right at 3 o'clock. Fill light was from a small hand held mirror at camera left. The flash, and my tripod mounted camera, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
I've photographed a lot of plants and flowers, because they're all around us, work cheap, and never complain. I have an album of these images with over 900 pictures, and for each one, I have described how I lit them, in case you're interested in that kind of thing.
Playing with my food again.
Lighting: I used side lighting for this shot because that kind of lighting creates the shadows that reveal shapes and textures. I first placed the pepper on a piece of black Perspex. The main light was a Yongnuo strobe in a gridded 24 inch soft box at camera left with the back of the soft box lined up with the front of the pepper so that the light would just skim the pepper (in theory anyway). Fill light came from a non gridded 24 inch soft box at camera right with the output of the flash one full stop less than the main light. The strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N. I converted the image to black and white using Silver Efex Pro 2.0 from Nik software.
Other black and white images that I've attempted are in my Black and White album.
