Sorry about the earlier transfer problems.
Any ideas on photographing white subjects?

Looks like you're doing well with your white subject photography, Alan. I keep my clipped highlights warning set on my camera and decrease the exposure when I see the 'blinkies'. You can also check your histogram for any clipping of highlights or shadows.

Thanks for the info, Donna. As you might guess, I have had no formal training in photography. People like you are extremely helpful.

No, I would not have guessed, Alan. Your work is beautiful.

Nice one, Alan. When shooting close ups, most camera meters misread white & red flowers & over expose the shot, which can 'blow out' the details. This is easily prevented by setting your EV compensation on (-) 0.7,
or even (-) 1.0. Don't worry if it appears a tad dark--you can always lighten it in post, if need be.

That's what I did for this one. I try to it as close as possible in the camera to minimize pp work. In this case, I took 6 shots and deleted 5. Thanks for your interest.
BTW, is that your hot rod? Looks very cool.

It was my rod. I sold it a few years ago. My rod these days is a diesel Toyota van (my photomobile), lol.

White flowers are difficult to get right. This one worked out right. Thanks for you comments.
