Lesson #2, bright light. Shot in RAW, no adjustments made.
The strong afternoon side light was enough for this photo, no fill flash used. I believe it works, because of the angle I used with the camera, and the higher ISO.
shutter 1/200, F/7.1, ISO 250, 60mm lens

  Hi Dana!
Thank you for looking and your kind thoughts!
This black background was done by pure luck! I had these orchids sitting on my table and the late afternoon sun, coming through the window, was so strong. I believe my camera angle was just perfect, so when I took the shot, the background wasn't metered, just the orchids.
I have had black backgrounds before, but I had used a flash.
Black backgrounds make every thing look more dramatic!
Thanks again!
Sibylle
