Helleborus on White

Helleborus

Helleborus, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.

This is another photo of one of my unusual double hellebore blossoms, photographed on white and processed for a semi-translucent effect while keeping fidelity to the actual colors.

I continue to enjoy working with the perspective correcting macro lens I used to take this photo. It’s even kind of amusing (in a creative anachronism fashion) to have to manually stop the diaphragm down when I’m ready to take the photo.
