Here’s a quick wallpaper before I head out to dinner. I shot this in my basement using the DIY Spyder Light.

Well it’s been unseasonably warm and rainy the past few days here in NE Ohio so last night I decided to setup the camera and shoot a few shots of the tulips that Kate bought at Lowes. I played around with the light and shooting from different angles for about 2 hours. I wasn’t really satisfied with any of the shots I had gotten up until this shot. The strange thing is I didn’t know what I was looking for just that I hadn’t gotten it yet. One look through the viewfinder to frame this up and I could see this was it. I took 2 frames and headed off to bed. I think my satisfaction with this image comes from how it captures the details of every aspect of the blossom. The color and the texture of the petals, yellow glow of the base and the smooth transition to the stem.
