this way of discussing photography may be fun. but
it is really easier to read the following book on photography first
if you have not read the book..
let me speak for him...
in this case of the 2 tulips, its time for the photographer to pull out
an important accessary equipment, the knife
and in the middle of the night, go over and cut these two flowers , take them home
then follow the intructions in the book...
put them in a vase, spray them with water, shoot them near a window under
natural light ,. etc etc as described so well in the book
you have to read the book, because he is a talented writer
he makes a rich living by writing books, and giving workshops ...
i cannot rephrase his words and keep the magic of his tips on phogtography
