My Columbine are out!

[Roman Kurywczak]

Had some time today so I decided I would spend some time photographing one of my favorite flowers that i grow in my front yard. I took this indoors.........everything was controlled. The BG is a letter sized print of my gerbera leaf.......on matte paper......gaussian blured 50..........near bright window but indirect light......a small led headlamp underside to add light.......silver reflector to bounce some into the center.......and finally fill flash with the MT 24 lights at Minus 3........with the Mark 3 and the Sigma 180mm macro at (my favorite :D ) f32...ISO 400 for 1.3 sec........all mounted on a tripod with the 10 second timer enabled.
As always comments welcomed and appreciated.

Love the blue and greens and the soft light. Wait is that lavender more than blue?

One of my favourite flowers Roman and your capture here is exquisite!!
The 'controlled' process really paid off and good to know the Gerbera print had multiple benefits :D

Hey Roman, this came out really nice, excellent details and I like the comp with the bud added in. Good job on the BG.
