Expired Irises

With appropriate processing this should be a fine print.

I love "expired" flowers. They are often a subject of mine. This looks great, and, as Jim Jones says, should make a fine print.

How/why was Alien Bee used...?

Thanks, Jim and bsdunek! I suck at titles as noted in the past - the film was expired, but the flowers were fresh from the plant. @jtk - I shot this pretty much in the dark. All the light on the flower from the left is from the Alien Bee. What little is from the right is from a reflector I had leaning against "stuff" that was there. I wanted the backdrop to get as little light as possible, but needed enough on the iris for the 50iso of the type 55. I think I used f16 on a 210mm.

Another photo of flowers so another song. This is perhaps a version you haven't heard.


Actually, Keith's song is about Poppy's and not Irises.

Nice image, Bethe!
