The overcast has a more even distribution of light -- up,down, right, left etc.Steve Buserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912655513896035138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740227464249118134.post-91437866022832763082007-06-12T14:53:00.000-05:002007-06-12T14:53:00.000-05:00What do you look for in floral photographs?

I like the floating effect, and, of course, the colours. Sublte gradations. I think colour and clarity of detail are how I measure the success of a floral photograph. Haven't tried it myself, because I think they're difficult to photograph well. Good job!!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09223040482420514208noreply@blogger.com
