[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I know I have been out of pocket these last couple weeks. Wow, a lot has happened. Sick family, computer trouble, ennui. It all adds up after a while.

I bought these irises at the grocery store last week and intended on shooting them in full bloom. Unfortunately, on the day that they were their most lovely, I fell asleep on the couch and missed my opportunity. The very next day they ran out of water and looked like this.

I still tried to make the proverbial lemonade out of them, though, and tried a couple different lighting scenarios. The first here has my SB-800 firing through an umbrella camera-left. The second has the flash firing from camera-right with a silver reflector camera-left. It’s amazing how different the two can be just by moving the light source.

Hi Scott,

This shot is nice and vivid. I see this was shot at 90mm. Is this what you would recommend?
