I was inspired this weekend to play with controlled light in still life photography. I went downstairs and bought some flowers (a stressful experience - the number of times I've bought flowers in my life that wasn't a last-second purchase to be immediately handed off to my mother or another deserving female is exactly zero), spent hours setting up the lights and tweaking the arrangements. Below are a few examples.
