Fourth of July Dianthus

pink-purplex

 

Tropical Storm/Hurricane Arthur is beginning with intermittent showers and gray skies.  My studio has artificial lighting bounced off the ceiling, reflector moving in a semi circle above the camera lens, a 50mm at f/11, at these dianthus (I think( flowers placed in a tin tube bought at Home Depot.  The salesman was very nice and didn’t seem to mind that I had no idea what I needed except material like Edward Weston’s green peppers.  Something reflective, I said.  And, metallic.

This is insulation duct material.
