White rose photos

I played around with white roses to create some high key photography for the camera club.  I like the rose on lace the best. 

The instrument is an Irish drum called a Bodhran (Boran).

Friendship roses

 Roses can have different meanings.  I decided to make a photo collection of roses for friendship and place them on my musical instruments.  Pink roses mean appreciation, gratitude or recognition, joy, happiness and grace.

A white rose stands for innocence, purity or charm.

Gold roses say joy, gladness, affection, friendship.   I plan to add these roses to my Zazzle collection.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I tried some long exposures last night only lit by two tiny portable spotlights.  I turned off the room lights and "sprayed" the subjects with light.  The dozen roses were placed on a piece of black velvet.  I also used the velvet to cover part of our keyboard to remove the words written on the plastic to simplify the image.  The velvet was used under the guitar also.
