Fire from Within....

Uploaded: September 07, 2007

Description

Inspired by SuSana's extraordinary Flower Shots I thought of trying something on flowers. I took one Gerbera flower from a flowerist, brought it home and shot it from various angles. Most of the pictures came out pretty decent..
This one is from the same lot....
and I'll be uploading few more in the days to come...

Aperture F2.7
Shutter 1/50S

Done lighting from behind the flower using a electric bulb.
This is an uncropped Image with very minor level enhancement using Photoshop.
