Just thought I would add some more flowers to the site. The first is of a lily taken after one of our rare rainfalls.

I’ve always thought that flowers make perfect subjects unless you try to take a photo on a windy day. If it’s a very bright day you could use a fast shutter speed to try an freeze out any movement in the plant, otherwise you may need a bit of patience while you wait for a lull in the breeze.

Oh, and just so you know, all these flowers, and the parsley, reside in my Mom’s garden. I’ve always said that she had a green thumb.

This one is of some small dainty like daises, again taken after a recent shower.

OK, I don’t really know what this next one is, but the petals are quite delicate and colorful.

Yeah, you got me on this one, it’s not a flower at all, but seeing as how I took it all on the same day I thought it only fitting I include it in the same post. This one is a photo of water drops on parsley leaves.

Yeah, I know some of you are going to call me a big girl because I love taking photos of flowers, but what can I say, flowers are really pretty, and can make for some really stunning photos.  The fact that no two flower is really alike means that there is always a huge scope for the amateur photographer to show his stuff.

Roses always make a popular photographic subject. You may pick a pinkish one;

A red one, whose petals look almost velvety;

Then again, perhaps one with a yellowish tinge to it.

Perhaps we should take a shot of a single tulip;

Or a bed of tulips;

Whatever you choose you can be sure that the lighting you choose can make all the difference;

They can be a delicate simple flower;

Or and intricate busy one complete with bugs.

Whatever flower you choose, you can be sure that photo options they can provide is almost endless.

As this photo shows there are photographic opportunities everywhere, even in your backyard garden. All it takes is looking at things in a different perspective.

I took this shot of a simple celery leaf one morning I tried to frame it in such a way that it would catch the different green hues as well as the different layers. This was naturally helped by the natural light conditions. You will probably noticed that I took the shot right after it rained which I did to add a little more character.

Getting in close to a subject gives it a whole new dimension. Sometimes using DOF will help to make the subject stand out, on other occasions framing it with a contrasting background can also have a remarkable effect.

Most digital cameras will have a ‘macro’ setting that allows you to capture this sort of image, the only thing stopping you is your imagination. Remember with a digital it is best to take a lot of different shots until you get the desired effect.

This macro shot of the ‘raindrops on red leaves’ just goes to show how photo opportunities exist almost everywhere. Sometimes you just have to look out of the square. getting up close to a subject can sometimes give you a very good composition. I think that the drops themselves give the photo a completely different look than if they were not present. I actually love going outside just after it has rained just to see what new photo opportunities are present.

Remember you don’t have to be a professional to take a good shot, sometimes you just have to be lucky
