These are some of my daughters wedding flowers a week after the big day in a jam car vase. The quality of the flowers were excellent, with many looking perfect over a week later.
You shouldn't really do flowers in mono , but photography rules are meant to be broken, so here they are.
Shot with a wide open aperture using a vintage Russian Helios 44M 58mm f2 lens attached to my Sony A6000.
Editied in Rawtherpee and GIMP, my open source editors of choice.
No you should not do flowers in mono , but the delight of this capture is the clarity of the glass , refraction of the stems and the reflections while the actual flowerheads are only secondary to all this ! Clever and delightful Phil :)
It seems to me there's a definite danger in getting too hidebound by rules, they can stifle creativity. I think the secret is to learn them and learn them well, then we can break them with awareness and break them effectively when we feel it's necessary for an image to 'say' what we want it to 'say'.
[Gets down off soap box] Nice b&w.
@dulciknit Alison your soap box comment is well received . Being a camera club judge I can stand on the soap box with you as i judge what we see not what someone tells me I should see !
