Liza, Barry, Brian, Paul, Donna, Thanks for the comments. If any of you 'try this at home' let me know if you can improve on the method. I thought of it because most flower shots are top lit (unless in studio) and you often get burnt out details, especially with whites or yellows. With this method you can hopefully balance the light more to pick up some of the beautiful fine detail in flowers and leaves.
