The Response: Lit from Below — Cheryl
It was a sunny day, but I knew that there wasn’t quite enough sunlight for this shot — and I wanted to direct the light. That generally means using the flash on camera or off camera with an umbrella. There are times, though, when I just don’t feel like messing with all that. Today was one of those days. Therefore, I placed a couple of lamps under the orchid and shined the light where I wanted it.
Clever girl! For me, finding a couple of lamps that have bulbs and work would be far harder….
I used the lamps that came with a photo tent kitI got a couple of years ago. I don’t really like the tent kit and seldom use it, but the lamps come in handy.
