King Protea

Posted on 11 April 2008
Best viewed at "original" size

An SB-800 covered with a softbox was fixed above the flower to outline the hairs.
An SBR-200 provided stronge light from the rear bottom of the flower
to make the petals semi-transparent.

Nikon D2Xs ,Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 AF
1/60s f/8.0 at 50.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
