December 16, 2007 – Orchids
The flowers are in front of a large mantle over our fireplace. The view here is from a low angle with the ceiling reflected behind them. I used the on-camera flash bounced off folded wax paper and my hand to hit the ceiling and not the orchids. The vignette behind the flowers is the hot spot on the ceiling from the flash reflected in the mirror. The light on the orchids is primarily bounced.
