Week 3 - Flowers
Lumen prints required me to purchase a variety of flowers, so the next logical photo project was using flowers as my primary subject. I broke out some of my old equipment for this one, namely my Canon T4i, 52" macro lens, light box, and reflectors. For lumen prints I selected flowers with a lot of texture and non-traditional shapes. The peach lilies glowed in the brightness of the day and the golden reflector helped to bring out their brilliant tones.
I had fun, but find that I'm still am hesitant to try anything too crazy or devote significant time to creating a setup that may or may not succeed. Hopefully, I will get more daring with my project this week (self-portraits). Also, this really reinforced how restricted I feel in the pandemic since this is a project I would normally have done at a public garden, park, or arboretum. Luckily, Arizona has had a very mild winter and I was able to enjoy an entire day outdoors capturing these in the sunshine.
