Challenge: Natural Light Indoors (Basic Editing)
Camera: Sony DSLR-A350
Lens: Sony SAL 30M28 AF Macro
Date: Apr 12, 2010
Galleries: Floral

 The diagonal lines are the open mini-blinds in the kitchen window, the only reflector would be the white linoleum floor. The orchids are backlit by the morning sun, which is how I got the detail on the petals. Because it is a flower, the focus is soft, & there is no visual proof that this was shot indoors by natural light, I expect it to get a lot of sub-5 votes. But I like it. I over-exposed it by 2 stops to get this soft look.

Soft flowers and hard light; I guess that works well enough.

I think the surrounding white is a bit bright and might remove the stalks on the right and left but overall is a beautiful image.

Nice focus, good subject. Background was too bright

Pretty flowers. I wonder if you could have put up a sheet in front of the window so you didn't see the blinds, but still had bright light.
