In the garden.
Introducing my studio space…There is so much natural light I didn’t turn the lights on to photograph the space. The images are straight out of camera,I didn’t edit them as I just wanted to share the space with you.
My dog, Daisy, goes to the studio with me every day.
The stairway to my second floor space.

All of the newborn images above were shot using my Nikon D800 and my 50mm 1.4 lens. Individual settings are above. Which is your favorite?

You guessed it! The Gerber Daisy represents innocence in the Victorian language of flowers. To see the monochromatic edition of this flower, visit my Thursday post on Monochromia. I would love to hear which you prefer – color or black and white. I look forward to your thoughts!
Have a fabulous weekend!

“To practice five things under all circumstances constitutes perfect virtue; these five are gravity, generosity of soul, sincerity, earnestness, and kindness.” Confucius
Galioli in the Victorian language of flowers means generosity and I am sincere , thus the title of this image.
To capture this image, I used natural sunlight. I put a black backdrop down on the grass and placed the flower upon it. I used only the sun, no fill, and used manual exposure. It was somewhat challenging because of the shadows and the significant contrast in light and shadow. I did minimal post processing, just increased the blacks to darken the backdrop. Light is such a magical thing. When used correctly under the proper exposure we can create so much!
In addition, if you have a minute and are interested in black and white photography, stop by Monochromia to see my post for this week. I posted two images of the same subject but using light in different perspectives. More about light!
Have a great weekend!
