Gather your equipment and get ready to shoot. No macro lenses? No worries! A set of inexpensive extension tubes can be an alternative to macro lenses.

Lighting is important in any type of photography. In this chapter you'll learn about the quality of light, how modify hard light and find soft light outside. As photographer you have to distinguish three types of shades and how to use them to your advantage. You'll also learn how to add an artificial light in certain conditions and change the mood of the image.

8. Editing

Editing is the last but important step to turn your flower images to a piece of art. While there are videos teaching the basic editing skills in Lightroom, I'll also show you how to add textures in Photoshop to turn your image to an artistic, painterly one. Certain images will look best in black & white, and you'll watch how to do so in this chapter.
