Great (Glowing) Flowers Photo Technique

If you want to learn how to make stylistically fresh images of plants on a white background then visit Niall Benvie’s blog and check out this really informative post. Niall is very generous and shares the entire overview of his process and includes equipment specs as well. This technique takes white-sweep studio portraits of flowers to the next level by creating translucent impressions of each subject through the use of backlight.

By the way, if you didn’t catch my earlier post on the subject, Niall’s brand new blog is a fantastic resource for anyone interesting in photographing wild nature. His site, entitled ‘Images from the Edge’, includes some of the best insight into the ethics of nature and conservation photography on the Web. Give it a read, why don’t you?

Niall's Great New Dia-Blog

Scottish natural history and conservation photographer Niall Benvie recently launched his new blog entitled "Images from the Edge." Those of you who are already familiar with Niall will certainly be able to attest to his brilliant imagery and as well as his keen insight into the business of photographing nature and the many ethical issues that surround the discipline. Perhaps my favorite part of about Mr. Benvie's essays is that they are often laced with a great sense of humor and a biting wit, which I always enjoy. I would highly recommend this blog for anyone who is involved or interested in the nature photography field.

Please take the time visit "Images from the Edge" if you have a chance.
