This is another experiment in lighting. The tulips were lighted by light shining through a window. I held a diffuser panel between the window and the tulips to soften the light. The black background was a piece of black foam taped to the window. 1/2 second exposure at f / 5.6.

Pink Carnations
It is a general principle of composition that three is a pleasing number. This image has either two or three or four elements. There are two carnations, but the bud leading off to the right adds a third element. The lower bud isn’t apparent at first glance.
This image was an exercise in lighting. I placed the carnations in a plastic storage tub turned on its side with a piece of black foam at the back. I used two shop lights placed to the left and right as the light source. The light was diffused by shining through the opaque plastic sides of the tub. Diffusing the light softened the harshness of the shop lights. F/5.6 at 55 mm, 1/6th second.
