A Test Post: The Purple Rose

Here are some of the results from my most recent JOU497 assignment. These were taken in my room on my bed, at about 1 a.m. My camera was on a tripod about a foot away from my bed. I used small apertures so what little light was coming from my windows was canceled out.

I popped a green-gelled flash at 1/16 power a few times from directly above. Then I lit the head of the rose with a tiny reading light from the top and then the front for about 45 seconds.

I popped a green-gelled flash at 1/8 power at five different points underneath the pillowcase, then illuminated the rose with my tiny reading light.

I popped a purple-gelled flash under the pillowcase, aimed at the rose, three times, each time from a slightly different angle. Then I lit up the rose and pillow case with my tiny reading light.
