Make a low key photo today with lots of dark areas. You might need to use exposure compensation to make it work.
I found this article that talks about low key lighting.
Low-key lighting requires only one key light, optionally controlled with a fill light or a simple reflector. This type of setup is usually shot against a dark background.
I used my Nikon D-700, Macro lens, one studio light with a snoot on it pointed directly at the flowers, a reflector to the side of the flowers. Very little Photo shop work just adjusted levels and sharpened for web. Created the storyboard in Photoshop elements 7.
Read Nikon D-700 Users Manual pgs 129

Very nice. The daisies are beautiful against the dark background.
Almost like a painting.
Nice work Sandra. I like how you have played with the POV besides going low key.
Nice! I usually prefer low key to high key - easier on the eyes. Good job.
Beautiful! And I learned something new today - what a Low Key photo it. Cool!
