My mothers wilting tulips sat in the kitchen and were going to be thrown out until I decided to do a little photo shoot first.

Gear used :Nikon F100 + Sigma 105 ex dg macro + Fujichrome Velvia 50 + Nikon coolscan v ed
( F/5.6 1/20th + sb-600 infront @ 1/2 with softbox and bare vivitar 285 below @ 1/16th, plus tin foil placed below to bounce some of the light onto the wall creating that brilliant white background )
