Today, our featured photographer on the DPNow Picture of the Day is a Antony Scott, registered on the DPNow forum and galleries as wizuk. Antony has produced a delicately lit still life of a tulip. The dark background contrasts wit the back-lit petals. I really like the gently luminous green shape of the stem that fades into the darkness too.
Antony says: "This photo was taken in my 'Home Studio', which consists of a desk, a piece of black A2 card, a Wimberly ‘The Plamp’ and a south facing window. On a sunny day this provides great backlighting for my macros. I then did some final tweaking in Photoshop to get a solid black background.
The photo was taken using my Canon EOS 5D Mark II, with a Sigma 50mm macro".
The lighting is excellent and really makes this a shot to enjoy - well done, Antony!
