Day 33 - two for the price of one

This blog is nothing is not sustainable.  I've recycled the tulips from earlier in the week, which have now shed all their petals, to make this picture.

I arranged the petals on a white foam board and, to get the soft light, I put the YN460-II next to the petals camera right and bounced it off the ceiling.  To get a little shape and texture in the petals I used the built in mini bounce card to throw some direct light back over the top.

I used the Nikon D50 with a 50mm lens at f/1.8 and 1/250s to get the shallow depth of field and kill off any ambient light.
