Lightpad Tulip

Experimenting with my new gadget, my £22 lightpad.

I plonked (technical term for placed carefully) a tulip from some of the flowers I bought my wife for Valantines Day onto the lightpad and took a shot with my Sony A7 , Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 Di III RXD combo'

Faffed around for a couple of minutes post processing in GIMP with levels and saturation and this is the result.

Compositionally, perhaps I should have cut off the big leaf, then again maybe not as it does have some nice shape and shades of green to it.

More experiments to come.

I think the leaf is OK. I like the diagonal.

The light under the leaf has brought out the lines and shapes really well.
Light pads are great, I have loads of fun with mine and use it quite a lot. It's useful for base shots for tonal inversions too.
