Great detail #934088Bobby R. Strange June 02, 2008
Thanks, Lisa :) You'd be surprised the setup I used to shoot that, lol...I had it sitting in a vase in front of a piece of black felt leaning against my computer monitor, with a couple of light bulbs to light it :) The poor man's studio, lol. #6011000Elena Williams September 02, 2008
You did a great job with the dramatic lighting. It really shows depth. Thanks for adding it to the roses group. #6402541Bobby R. Strange September 02, 2008
You're welcome, Elena. And thank you! :) #6402547Karen M. Meier September 07, 2008
pretty photo, nice effect:) #6423588Courtenay Vanderbilt September 14, 2008
Very nice Bobby. I understand what you mean about the "poor man's studio". HA! I struggle with shooting red so this is really impressive. PS thank you for the "favorite"! #6452532M.Christine Duncan September 15, 2008
I too have to construct a DIY studio from time to time, glad I'm not the only one! Why is red so hard to capture well? I have an awful time, but you've done an exceptional job! The light is very dramatic and moody! Bravo! #6456768Bobby R. Strange September 15, 2008
Thanks Karen, Courtenay and Christine :) My "poor man's studio" has been upgraded slightly since then, but it's still nothing fancy, lol. #6456801Rebecca K. Lefferts April 13, 2009

Thanks, Rebecca! #7401548Paula Showen April 17, 2009
Outstanding shot. Beautiful! #7415613Meghan Gonski April 27, 2009
I love this photo. I tried to take something similar to this different angle. It turned out a little tooo dark. But yours is perfect. What was your camera settings? (If you remember)Bobby R. Strange April 28, 2009
Thanks, Meghan! I sent you an email with the settings/setup I used. Hope they help! :) And thanks, Paula for your compliment! :) #7459902Kelley J. Heffelfinger June 05, 2009
Great job Bobby. A lot of depth in this photo. What type of lighting do you use? #7601627Bobby R. Strange June 05, 2009
Thanks, Kelley :) For this shot, I really only used a couple regular old lightbulbs strategically (is that how you spell it??) placed to get the mood I wanted :) #7601690Cynthia A. Gallo Callan June 28, 2009
This is beautiful. The rose looks as if its leaves are velvet. Excellent work Bobby. #7687639Bobby R. Strange June 28, 2009
