19 Backlighting


I am still getting used to my new macro lens and trying it out on different subjects. This particular subject is very special to me. These are tissue paper flowers that my grandaughter (with the help of mommy) made for the centerpieces for my birthday party. I have never used backlighting before so this photograph is really an experiment!!

  1. You call them flowers but we know its all a tissue of lies, anything to get a great unique shot. Well done.
