The image was shot through textured glass using silk flowers that are about the size of your thumbnail. It often took me three days to get an acceptable image. Natural light is best using a white or pale gold reflector boards. A small mirror often comes in handy to brighten a distracting dark area. I used a all manual 35mm Canon F-1 camera, a 200mm Canon lens mounted on a tripod and Fuji Velvia 50 daylight film.
