Christmas cactus first studio shoot

Frist shoot in my make shift studio
CC please

Well composed shot. Focused etc top job.

I'd say you've done a few of these before. Saturation is right on here, looks as good as it gets.

The Sig 105?

What is your makeshift studio?

Thanks for the kind words,
It was shoot in the corner of my kitchen using a piece of black silk as a back ground and natural light from 2 windows and a piece of white poster board to give me some back light. Yes it was the 105, to tell the truth I tried them all but it work the best for me.
Shoot at f/32 for 30 sec.
I have shoot flowers for years but never indoors. I want to get more into more “studio” type shoots and am building a studio over my garage to use. Hope it will be completed by mid summer if my money holds out. I was trying to save up for a new 5 D. Hard to do both for me anyway.

Well, you would be a good judge of my initial effort. I did my rosie holding onto a plastic shopping bag made flat by a stretched wire coathanger to diffuse the harsh sun (in one hand) and a white cardboard reflector to light up the interior (in the other hand) and the remote cable in my teeth.

Heres the pic I did when I first started in DSLR, tripod and 50mm std lens.

Nice shoot for your first one. Was that morning due on it? I prefer shooting in early morning both because of the warm morning light and because there is less wind. I like to shoot long exposures, 15 seconds and longer at 100 ISO so any movement kills it. I also wear or have with me a light jacket in black, dark blue or green that I can use as a backdrop if there is a distracting object or color in the back ground.

As I remember I stopped it down to darken the backgrd and I sprayed the mist from a bottle of "Insta-Raindrops" from eBay.

(the ebay ref is accompanied by a wink- pulling someone's leg is hard work with just a keyboard)
