I love Gerbera daisies. I have bought them before just to take pictures of them. On this day the bride had chosen them for her bouquet. I was able to pluck a few from a vase and take them back to my hotel room.
I set them up in an empty wine bottle. There was very little light in the room but I set my camera so that none of the ambient light would play a role in the exposure and therefore give me a pure black background. The flowers were lit by a single SB-600 that was hand held but connected to my camera via an SC-17 cable.
I think getting little details like this really helped to make the wedding album complete. Tomorrow, I will present a shot from the reception.
I always wonder how people get the background so black. Now I'm a little closer to solving this mystery.
