    A Trick for Great-Looking Flower Shots

    SCOTT KELBY

    [View full size image]

    Want a great quick trick for some interesting-looking flower shots? Get down low, and shoot the flowers so they’re backlit, with the sun behind them. The sunlight shining through the translucent petals creates a beautiful effect, and this is a popular trick employed by serious flower shooters that works every time. Don’t forget to get down low (so low that you’re either shooting straight on or up at the flowers) to get the most from this effect.
