Floral portraits
Close - ups of flowers can be taken outside or in the house at any time of year . Small flower clusters make intriguing repetitive designs , while large single blooms offer scope for impact images . As many flowers fade soon after they have opened , never postpone taking a perfect bloom . If the flower does not fill the frame , look carefully at the background - sky , water , grass , earth , or other plants - to make sure it enhances rather than competes with the subject .
Useful accessories for field photography are a plant clamp to steady long - stemmed flowers ( see p . 152 ) ; aluminum foil to fill in shadows ( see p . 160 ) ; a piece of cheesecloth to diffuse direct sunlight on white or pastel - colored flowers , and a wooden or metal spike topped with a flash shoe to support the flash remote from the camera behind a flower ( see p . 158 ) .
Electronic flash or a continuous light source can be used for studio portraits of cultivated flowers . If the electronic flash does not have a built - in modeling light , the lighting cannot be appreciated unless either a pen torch is taped onto the flash or an instant Polaroid print is taken . With a continuous light source such as a pair of fiber optics , the precise effect of the light and shadow falling on the flower can be viewed through the camera and finely adjusted before any exposures are made .
Floral cluster
I photographed the waxy Hoya flowers in the soft light of the late afternoon . Since the flowers form a complete sphere , it was difficult to keep one side entirely in focus . Instead , I got in so close that most of the flowers were in a single plane . Lens 55mm micro - Nikkor Mag . on film × 1 Mag . on page × 3
Spot lighting with fiber optics
I wanted to illustrate the internal parts of this Alstroemeria flower , so I removed one outer petal which was partially covering the stamens and stigma . The flower stalk was wedged into a florist's spiky base and placed in front of the black velvet background . The fiber optics were set up as shown on the left . The light passing through the petals was metered directly . by the camera . Lens 55mm micro - Nikkor Mag . on film * 0.4 Mag . on page × 1.2
Advertizing color ▷ I cropped in on this tulip so that the red appeared as a striking backcloth for the flower's heart . Lens 55mm micro - Nikkor Mag . on film × 0.5 Mag . on page × 4.5
