I think the easiest way is to get a flash/spotlight with snoot and point to the black flower so you're making the black flower to show more details while not over exposing the white one.

point and shoot is OK..one hand holds the camera the other holds the flashlight/spotlight lor...what's the problem?

the problem is no extension cord for the flash
Try to get someone stand beside you to make a shadow on the white flower to make the contrast of light as low as possible.

I said flashlight, not flash ar!  You know flashlight?  The ones you go camping with?

Yes, fixing it in Photoshop is much easier but that's not the point of this thread.  But good job tho...you blurred the backgroud too which made it doesn't look like it wasn't from a DC.

goldie, snoot costs only 5 cents...just roll up some black paper...done!

再試過，半夜去影。
平生第一次用自製 snoot (nothing else works)。
但係無黑色紙，用左淺黃色。
snoot 對住黑花，
得到呢個效果。
(呢兩朵怪花，夜晚都唔 "ｃｌｏｓｅ"喎)

good for you...clearly can see a yellow cast, partly because of the yellow paper and probably from your flashlight too?  The light is a little too hot.

"The light is a little too hot" ???

hot in photography is used to describe many things...like hot (continuous) lights vs cold (flash) light.  What I meant hot was overexposure, you're getting a little bit of hotspots in your flower.
