I don't think that the shadows detract, however if you did want a shot without them, is there some way you could light the paper from the back? Have it on top of a box with a speedlight aimed to shine through? You might be interested in my low budget light tent, for photos similar to this one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157622022690123/ I did end up getting a sheet of translucent plastic to put inside as a "seamless background" though paper works nearly as well. > > DagT > > > Den 18. okt. 2011 kl. 05:21 skrev Kenneth Waller: > >> >> As nice as this is, I think it could be improved by eliminating the slight >> traces of shadow All around the flower. >> >> -----Original Message----- >>> From: DagT <[email protected]> >>> Sent: Oct 17, 2011 11:51 AM >>> To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List <[email protected]> >>> Subject: PAW93 - O >>> >>> http://www.thrane.name/Pictures/PAW/files/page7-1000-full.html >>> K-5, D-FA100mm macro, 1/15s, f/11, ISO100. >>> >>> DagT >>> http://www.thrane.name/ > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
