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.

Lighting and background are both very important in the composition of any photo. I’ve done a series of shots of one of the most beautiful and colorful flowers in the world. The plant is called the Bird of Paradise and derives the name from the flower shape which resembles a birds beak and head plumage, hence the name.

The first is a shot of the flower with the sky as a background.

The next has a cloudy sky as a background.

And finally one with the garden as the background.

Out of the three the last one is definitely, in my opinion too crowded and detracts from the flower itself. The same goes for the second one, which is unusual as clouds normally add to the character of the photo, so as far as I am concerned the best of the three would have to be the first photo.

Which is your favorite?
