This was actually shot in front of a really pretty blue piece of paper, but scanned in almost black. I kind of like the effect, but I've had it with using this scanner. Since I can't see spending so much cash on a film scanner, I've decided to go ahead and have my lab scan all my negatives and put them on an account on their site. It costs me nothing, and will really improve the quality of my shots. Everything will be true to color, sharp as the prints, and a whole lot less work for me. So, that will be coming soon.
I spent some time playing around with my new extension tubes yesterday. I might start a new theme...macro Mondays. :o) Everyone have a great weekend.
Konica Minolta 70 Fuji HQ ISO 100 0.5 seconds f-11 Aperture mode Sigma 105mm lens
Nice composition Micki. The background colour is perfect for the flower.

Nice shot Micki. The blue did work out well.
A really perfect shot for this weekend! Looking forward to your macro mondays! :)
I love this it's truly beautiful.
The thought occured to me this morning...can your lab put your images onto a cd or dvd? I know that many do now, that way you can pull them up onto the comp straight from the cd or dvd.
beautiful, i've put a flower shot up as well
graceful image, captures the essence of the flower. macro mondays is a great idea!
Lovely shot. I just bought a new scanner to do film negatives. Maybe I should have gone the route that you were talking about with your lab.
Good shot, the space on the right is giving a noce effect
very nice, it seems to be the season for flower shots.
A lovely flower shot it is! New extension tubes..how fun! Looking forward to macro mondays.
lovely shot micki. the background is very nice. I've done some semilar shots today (as it is sunny and warm today - in switzerland).

Nice daffodil, although a little dark and soft. I haven't got a decent shot of a daffodil yet this year. Must get out a bit this weekend and shoot some!

Wonderful shot!
The background looks lovely...
Very nice profile with dark blue background. I love it ! :-) -- Do you have a feed, so I can track your posts? - cheers
Nice! We've had an unusually long winter here, so I haven't seen any of these outside yet.
Beautiful shot!
nice shot. i love the details captured. the dark bg works too!
great macros, back in HS I spent alot of time outdoors during the springtime .... and my grades suffered greatly :)
nice photos..
Nice capture, Micki. I especially like the negative space. Regards, Brent
very nice, can see just a hint of the blue background
cool photo, the black background is great. :)
That's a really pretty shot - very simple, but very well composed.
great shot!
Nice one Micki! It's amazing how black the background turned out. Well done!
Hey, that's not a bad idea...Macro Mondays. I might work that into my rotation, too.
As you pointed out, the photo actually works well with the dark background, though I am curious to see it with the "real" color.
Wonderful photo! I really like the effect you got from the paper. I thought of trying this the other day on some Dogwood flowers.
gorgeous!
Gorgeous. Really lovely, Micki. But can this daffodil cook you a four-course meal? No, I think not.
I'm learning from you..beautiful!!
Really nice, love the black background! :)

The weight of the background really emphasises and defines the form of this flower. Great isolation as well.
love it Micki - the backdrop does look nice ;)
Awesome composition :) BTW, Thanks for dropping by my blog .... Keep coming ;)
Beautiful. Daffodils in Space. The daffodils have left here, however other blooms are coming! :)
So beautiful, and the background makes the daffodil ready to pop out from the photo :)
Lovely shot against the black!
love it against the black background - am intrigued by what it looked like with a blue background!
;)
This is one i took of an anemone blanda, the black is deep shadow (enhanced with a small contrast/brightness tweak) & the flower is in the bright sunshine
Nice simple study.
