Light Amongst Rose Petals


The first thing you learn on your photographic journey, is that Photography is all about lighting. It took me a very long time to realize this, but as they say, the first 10,000 photos are throw aways. On the surface, what is so wonderful about a pile of dead rose petals?....Nothing actually. However, when you apply some backlighting, and some fill lighting, suddenly these dead petals come to life, and the lovely colours hidden within them is brought to the fore, and when the light infiltrates the various surfaces of the petals, it seems to do a little dance that for me is somewhat pleasing to my eye. This is AKA Textured Lighting, and hopefully some of you will enjoy it as well.....Cheers!
