We had a lovely bouquet of red roses, and after they started to die, we hung the entire bouquet in a dark storage room for a couple of months to dry out. Why throw them away? I set them up in the studio on a darkish day. I had to stop down a lot to get a decent depth of field and, after taking exposure reciprocity failure into account, had to leave the shutter open for a full minute. I did a couple of frames just to be sure I got something with no movement. I still have the roses in my studio on a shelf to this day. Rolleiflex SL66, and 150mm f/4 Zeiss lens.
