Re: Ortonesque?
For anyone having difficulty getting white flowers to expose correctly without getting blown highlights, here's a simple tip
1. Set your camera to spot meter
2. Take a reading from the whitest part of the flower
3. Dial in +2 EV of exposure compensation*
4. Bingo - your flower should be perfectly exposed
*If you're shooting manually, just dial in the appropriate changes i.e. if the meter reads 1/2000 sec at f/8, change to 1/500 sec and so on.
Same goes for shooting snowy scenes or any other brightly lit subject.
