Hi
First attempt at still life and it shows ;)
I have seen some great pictures of dandelions in the past and thought I'd give it a go. Especially as there seem to be so many of them around at the moment.
I set up a ad hoc studio on top of a chest of draws. A table lamp and the built in flash were all I had for lighting
I started off with different coloured cards as a backdrop but soon decided a black t-shirt was the best bet and started shooting.
After lots of shots I ended up with a couple of 'best'. However I cant help feeling they could be better.
So c&c and tips and tricks gratefully recieved :D
