I know there are many wildflowers out right now but one of my wife's hybrid orchids is in bloom and I couldn't resist.
I used thin black material to mask out the background. Then made three images, lit in different ways with a flash. Rig was of course on a tripod. Then combined the three images with different levels of opacity for the desired lighting effect.
Camera: Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Lens: Nikon 60mm f2.8D macro with Nikon-Canon Novoflex adapter
Program: Manual
ISO 400, 1/25s, f/22
Flash: on, manual 1/8 power
