Behind the Scene:
Flower in white room again. Aha. But last time it was a Rose. This time a red Carnation will be the model.As usual, first I need to setup white background. Use a bottle to grip that carnation. Then use 50mm f1.8 lens. So that how I got such bokeh over there. Then use Photoshop to put some border and light up some color. That’s all I had been done and here is the result.

Carnation definition:
