Well all is now revealed - Woody taught me everything I know about taking flower photos.

Sadly he's a bit short on equipment however but Edward proves to be a good long-suffering assistant. The cat doesn't look overly impressed either - much like my own cat who doesn't appreciate being ignored when I'm trying to 'work'

Very cleverly done. Great attention to detail, and you make these shots look so easy. Which I'm sure they are not Smile

Love that cat.

Just needs a sunset, a baby and a butterfly and it would be a picture with it all!

Funny!

The one behind the backdrop looks like he's hiding behind a newspaper :O)

Fantastic Alison.
Now we know where you learned all your skills.
It must have taken you an age to set all this up....well done.
Take care.

Thank you everyone and thank you lots Pete for the HC - that has certainly brightened up my day Smile

This was fairly straightforward to set up as, for once, I wasn't trying to get anyone to fly or balance precariously. It still required a small amount of the double sided sticky tape which is invaluable Smile

What did take the time was that I'd set it all up, taken a load of pictures and dismantled it all again only to realise that I'd forgotten the cat!!!! I'm glad I started again though as the cat really works nicely there.

I'll see what I can do Jo about the sunset, baby and butterfly - should be interesting!

Ade - that really hurt didn't it? Wink

Good imaginative thinking and well set up and well captured. Like it a lot.

I hope you haven't been pinching Woody's flower shots and passing them off as your own.
I don't think Woody has his own page on epz has he?
Hmmm...

Kate - you are spot on - watch this space Smile

Thank you again everyone - I'm really pleased you all enjoyed viewing my work. Now to get a burst of inspiration for the next one!

Ah Eric - Woody doesn't have his own page on EPZ yet (not a bad idea though!) but hopefully his own website will be up and running properly within the month.

Thank you again everyone - I must admit that I am rather pleased with this picture.

I suspect that Woody is the only one that knows what they're doing Rachel - I tend to stumble along until I get it right Smile

Oh Woody has his moments Anne but I'm not telling you what he's doing at the moment - definitely not what you'd expect a master photographer to be doing Smile
