Sweet Pink

Posted by Barbara (Florida, United States) on 8 January 2008 in Plants & Nature and Portfolio.

Day 3 of my lightbox experiment. Always looking for improvement. I added another light source. I find the halogen lights produce a much better light.
It is a tiny rose that took a beating so like life it isn't perfect, but it sure smelled sweet.

This is wonderful! You've really captured the rose's delicateness and elegance! Can I ask what kind of lamps are you using?

@Laurie: Thank you for your kind comment Laurie. For this image I used two clamp on halogen lights that adjust easily to any angle. (Found at most discount department stores) They were placed on both sides of the light box. On top I used a circular flourescent swing arm light. One of those with the large magnifying glass in the center. It was already on the desk where the light box was placed and was convenient. The lightbox is homemade, cut out cardboard box covered in muslin fabric. Interior is simple white poster board. It was an inexpensive arrangement.
