Yeah, I have a piece of black velvet with a whole cut through it for the
bloom. Afterwards I deepen the black of the background in ps.
These are before the b&w conversion (sorry if the link wraps):

You can see the full size by removing the "normal_" prefix from the
filename.
Speaking of flowers, here are some OM shots I took on a recent trip to
Phoenix with a Vivitar 100mm macro I recently bought from someone on
this list. You'll have to excuse any blurriness in the shots. I'm
still getting used to using a MF macro lens. I need a focusing rail!
These are just the scans from the developer. I'm still working on
touching up my scans.

This isn't a flower, but I liked how it turned out. I had shot it at
the beginning of the roll, before the frame counter had reached "1" (I'm
cheap). I like the added effect to this oddly dark and morbid shot.

Matthew are you using a completely black background for the orchids
pix? Must be pretty dramatic!
I shot lillies years ago (on Ektachrome) against black velvet and
really liked the results. Thanks for the reminder!
