Experiment with light and see how creative you can be with your macro art

Your floral photography work will benefit if you experiment with light sources. A few weeks ago I mentioned how I often use a black box into which I place my floral subjects, affording me control over where the light hits. But if I always used this system I wouldn’t be challenging myself so, from time to time, I will do something completely different. Below are two photographs taken of an anemone: one taken on my Lightbox and the other in my black box. The contrasting results clearly demonstrate how we are the masters of our art and by experimenting we learn the processes and skills required to create the images we have in our hearts and minds.
