A little bit about these flowers. The Fijian name is Vutu, I do not know the English or Latin names. I used a black back drop with LED and incandescent light. My camera was tripod mounted with 8-20 second exposures at F22. Cheers
They remind me of fireworks also! Your lighting and backdrop were the perfect way to shoot these! They look like the silk tree's flower, what we call mimosa in the southern US.
WOW! When they were first loading, I thought fireworks, they also remind me of fiber optics..what gorgeous gorgeous interesting flowers I love them, and your captures of them are stunning~I hope you have them framed and hanging~they are fantastic! I wish I could grow them! :) Each post ~wonderful FW! I am enjoying catching up! I took over 2,000 pics in seven days~ so I have lots of photos of the Islands to share! And Hatteras is known for fishing~lots of trout & blue marlin were being caught around us! Have a great evening! Cat

A quick picture of Photographer Callan Wallace. I have been taking photographs for as long as I can remember. I took my first photography class when I was 14 years old. I continued taking classes until I finished high school. I then worked as a portrait photographer for a year but soon found myself burning out. After a short sabbatical I started to shoot again. I have had several shows in a gallery and sold limited edition fine art prints. I have been living in Fiji for over 14 years. During this time I have had to give up shooting film as the humidity and tempeture do not agree with negatives and prints. Since leaving film I have rediscovered my photography through the digital revolution. After learning to shoot digital with point and shoot cameras I then moved up to a DSLR. I now use a Canon 5D and a 24-105mm Lseries lens for all of my work.
I have since left the DSLR and am now shooting with a Galaxy S3 phone with an 8 megapixel built in camera. I take pictures of what moves me. I focus on images that I find unique in shape, pattern, color and texture. I look for faces that tell a story. I do not use long lenses for the sole reason it makes me have to engage my subject. Whether it is a person who I will have to communicate with to get a good shot or an object that forces me to physically move towards it and out of my own comfort zone. I feel that this give my images a more real feel to them. I am constantly learning and exploring with my photography. Change is constant and I am constantly changing.

Amazing! The flowers look almost like they are made of fiber-optic material. Very unusual, and beautiful.
