Christian, very dramatic photos. What do you do to get the black background? Do you move the whole plant, pot and all, to a special area where you photograph it?

[trimen1000]

It is most likely done in photoshop. Just use the magic wand tool.

Hi,

the black backgorund is an usual T-Shirt and definitively not done in Photoshop! Just make sure, that the sun is not shining directly on the cloth (otherwise you will end up with a grey background, that shows the structure of the cloth). The pcitures are slightly edited though.

Yes, i am moving plants when taking pictures

Well, the photos are magnificent the way you set them off on the black t-shirt.
Would you per chance be in a position to share any photos here-

In the very near future, there will also be a need for photos of Sarracenia purpurea as well as an assortment of other species indigenous to North America.

Hi,

you can use any picture from my website for your project.

Hey Christian, please add any photos you believe might work for us into the thread. Thanks so much for offering your photos!

Laura, it might be more efficient if you simply browsed through Christian's great photo gallery, organized by species, and pick what you need.

Hi Bob,

I was sort of hoping that if people posted in the thread that there would be more interest. I can go and browse through many sites and select but it would be my selection not the selection of the contributor.

We would also like a cross section of a Sarracenia that would be able to be labeled by kids.

wow christian - you've put some serious effort into photographing and sharing you plants - thanks.
I'm surprised your plants seem so far along - I thought it was cold in Germany - but your pictures make it look like mid-summer. Or do you start you plants in the greenhouse?

Hi,

the plants are grown in the greenhouse. My plants usually start to grow in mid february/beginning of march.
