Blogging on....

Hi all
I've decided to reduce the frequency of my blog posts, but try and put more detail in about the intention / technique.
Also I'd like to do more guest photos, so please email me at info@philhackettphotography.com if you have some shots that might be appropriate!

The most difficult thing with this shot was trying to keep the plant in position. I poked a large screw through a black cloth and into the rear of the bulb and had that clamped in a alligator clip attached to a stand.
Shot was lit with the 580EXII firing through a gridded reflector. I increased the canvas size in Elements to add the negative space on the left which I feel balances the photo.

One has to be discrete about candids in this part of the world. A small camera innocently languishing around the neck is ideal! I used a relatively small aperture and high ISO to give a large depth of field and fast shutter speed.
