To create my vision of an “ice cave”, I found some plastic bags and glittering threads lying around.  SB-800 speedlights were placed to reflect off the plastic bags and off to the side to light the floral design.  Keeping the ISO low at 100 allowed me to achieve a dramatic look by keeping the background dark and only pick up the light from the speedlights and the lighted subject.

To keep stretching our creativity, seek inspiration and try to apply it to your photography!
