I had bought some of these before and never got around to shooting them. Let's not discuss why. Anyway, Pure, my Florist, had some today so I go a couple. They posed well with minimal set up. I just used some masking tape around the stems taping them to the top of the bottle they were in. A little adjustment and voila!
Shot with camera on tripod and used the cable remote release. 4 clamp lamps, each with a 100w equilvalent energy efficient bulb....they are a LOT cooler for both me and the flowers.
Post: Camera Raw adjustments in PSElements 6.0. Layer adjustments for levels, brightness/contrast and hue/saturation. Adjust sharpness. Spot edit hot pixels/dust (not sensor dust) on the background and a dot here and there on the right stem. Crop 3/4 times. Resize. USM.
