Wow, you really have this high key thing down. Fantastic detail and clarity. Excellent composition. Did you shoot this or was the high key added post production? If it was shot, could you tell me how pretty please? #935464

Hi Brian, I actually shot this one.
I used the light from my kitchen window, I placed a diffuser in front of the window and I used a white reflector to bounce the light back onto the flower. I used a very slow shutter speed and a tripod. The only change I made in editing was rotating the shot. This sunflower is in a vase on the sink. The diffuser caused the white out behind the flower and the reflector added just enough highlight to produce this effect. I have a 5-1 reflector--it has gold, silver, black, white, and the diffuser. Does that help? Amy:) #6019638

That helps a lot! Thank you so much. I can't wait to try it. #6019675
