Description

Still learning how to shoot stills in my studio and how to edit with Adobe Photoshop Elements 7. Don't recall ALL I did to this image, but I'm happy with my trial and error results. I would like to know how to make the background really white. I used a white tri-fold display board, but it doesn't show up white in the image, even though I shot in RAW format, etc.
Taken 3-5-2009 at 10 p.m.
Camera: handheld, since I was experimenting with lighting. Will use the tripod for future shots. Canon 18-55 mm IS lens, hot shoe flash, aperture f/8.0
Contest: Flowers (March 2009)
