What kind of flower is this? (fcb pic)

Go to last post
I think it's some type of chrysanthemum(sp?) but I could be wrong .... I have been a time or two in my life.

GORgeous shot.

Thanks, Brenda. I think Jennifer's got this one pegged. I looked at some dahlia collections online, and this one seems to fit the mold.

You're most welcome ! ...it really IS a stunning shot ....I love the background color for contrast...really brings out the various hues on that bloom ! kudos ~ : )
 
Uncle Frank,

I've been on this forum for a few months and have really admired your foam core work. I have been trying to pick up a few hints here and there (I even bought some black foam core) but haven't come up with anything I think is worthy to submit.

I saw your thread where you explained your setup. My question is lighting. For this photo what kind of lighting did you use? Maybe once I understand all the pieces I can put together a pic that I could submit.

Natural sunlight, Carl. I take most of my fcb shots on the back patio table. We have a patio cover, one of the slatted arrangements, and a few years ago, we put a 75% shade cover on it. So I take my shots in the morning or late afternoon, when it's shady, and there are no strong beams coming between the slats. The relatively low light means I have to use a slow shutter, and that means I have to use a tripod. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the info. I'll try that also in my lanai (that's patio in Florida speak). Maybe one day I'll be able to join the elite FCAS club :). I did take one picture that when I posted, some forum members said it could even fool Uncle Frank but alas, there was no foam core (if only my ceiling was made of foam core)
