Three photo's of interest

 

I had not intended to shoot this in monochrome. I was taking pictures of other things earlier in monochrome and forgot to change back to color before taking this photo. It looks OK in monochrome.

 

 

 

 

 

Spring Flowers

I am seeing more and more wild flowers along side the hiking trails I walk. Here are a few.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dried Flowers In The Dark

I like shooting photo's of objects emerging from/fading into the dark, so you will see this type of shot frequently in my blog.

These are some flower that were given to my wife for Mother's Day. When they started to dry up I snatched them and put them somewhere safe until I had a chance to photograph them.

I am shooting them on a black background, mostly in the dark and with some flash's with no modifiers. I need to buy or make some light modifiers to soften the light a little.

 

 

 

Here are a couple of macro photo's of a dried flower.

 

 

Beauty and the Beast - A Thistle Study

Here are a few shots of Thistle. Beauty, the delicate pink petals and tendrils, and the Beast, the many green long thorns surrounding the flowers.
