Behind the scenes at Flowers for Friday
Jenski commented on my peach rose post about how she liked the black background.
I thought I would post this photo of my picture-taking set-up for those photos.
As you can see, I had the black sheet draped with some textbooks underneath. The flower in the vase was sitting on top of the black sheet-covered textbooks. And I was using my light to cast full spectrum light on the flower. The only thing that isn’t in that picture is my tripod that I use for close-ups.
At one point, the sheet started moving and I couldn’t figure out why and that was when I noticed her underneath it. That is, she was underneath it with her CLAWS clawing the sheet and making the whole thing unstable! It was too funny to pass up, so I, of course, snapped a picture of it, in between lenses.
The girlie-girl evidently decided that it was the purrfect hidey-spot.
She is a goof. (picture in large where you can see her better)
And over the course of the few days where I left it set-up, I kept finding her under there. I guess it was good protection from the (make-believe) hawks that fly around our rooms and are ready to attack at a moment’s notice. 
You know those hawks, very unpredictable. Gotta watch out for them.

Very cool set-up. Your shots always look professional. Of course, clearly the cat is the brains behind the operation…

Gotta be ready for those hawks!
I love your setup. I should do more stuff like that. There are a bunch of tulip pictures (outside pics) that I need to post. First I might post about the 5K walk that I did today.
Love the GG picture, too.
jenski says:
The hawks with cameras, that is. GG always tries to look so innocent, huh?
