The flowers in my garden are fading fast, so I got out there this afternoon and decided to experiment with close-up images using flash to darken the background. I hope you like it.

Well this has turned out beautifully Keith. My flowers are fading too, so you have spurred me on to go outside with the camera. I don't often use flash, but will give it a go!

SMASHING!!! What a gorgeous flower, Keith. And your experiment is a wild success I would say! :) The dramatic black background really pops the flower out of the image.

Glad you liked my latest pictures and trip notes...not all of the pictures were anything special but were perfect for letting folks know what it's like to be where we were. And yes, Pumpkin had a wonderful time at "Camp Chicken" but if we can help it, she won't be there again because she'll be with us! :D

That's gorgeous. So crisp and sharp. The colour is lovely and the black background sets the flower off a treat,.
