flower

These little tiny purple flowers pop up every spring, when I see them I typically know warm weather is right around the corner. Not this week however since we are getting ANOTHER 2 feet of snow. But I managed to get out and take some photos of these little cute flowers before the snowstorm. Why...

Yep the dandelions are popping up now. I saw a bumble bee today which I don't normally see in April here. But I saw this bug collecting some pollen on this dandelion, I assume it's some kind of bee. I got nice and close as I could with the macro. I'm pretty happy with it overall. It was cloudy...

Nothing like some rain drops on flowers that are almost ready to bloom! Nikon Z6II + MC 105 2.8 VR S

It's been months since I've done much of any photography. According to Lightroom I've taken less than 100 photos in the last 6 months and most of them are random photos/test shots just to keep the battery good. It's finally spring here in Vermont and Crocuses are popping up. I know this isn't...

I've been trying out some new techniques with flower macro photography and I recently switched from Lightroom to ON1 for my editing.

I am getting obsessed with sunflowers. This is the latest in a long line of attempts to get a desktop wallpaper from my garden. Comments always welcome. CHEERS

Sunny day after work decided to bring out the Macro 105mm 1:1, nothing further. Tell me what ya'll think.

Taken today when I popped over to Mum`s, all I did was put the Orchid in front of Mum`s TV and click. Taken with my Huawei P20.

Weather here today is grotty, so out came the perspex. Flower Reflection by Dave, on Flickr

I've been in a bit of a funk lately. I haven't really used my camera in a while, heck I even went places to take photos and didn't even take my camera out of the bag or removed the lens cap. I don't know, I just didn't see anything that really sparked my interest. It kind of made me feel...

A simple shot today to share. I took a quick evening walk and noticed this one and only lonely buttercup just sitting there in the light asking me to take a picture of it, so I did. Fuji XT2 + 60 2.4 Macro f/2.8, 1/1000th, ISO 320 Cheer Up, Buttercup by Nicholas Erwin, on Flickr

I searched for a while trying to find the perfect one. There are thousands of these wild violet flowers all over my lawn. I managed to find this one that was almost all alone and had a clean background. It's kind of simple and clean shot which is what I was going for. Fuji XT2 + 60 2.4...

A couple shots I grabbed yesterday after reclaiming my old Carl Zeiss Ultron 50mm f1.8 lens. Both the lens (CLA'd) and adapter (M42 to Fuji X) came in the mail yesterday. Flower with Bokeh by Mark Wyatt, on Flickr Honeysuckle Realized by Mark Wyatt, on Flickr

Found this beautiful bloom, illuminated by it's own natural spotlight. In The Soft Light by William Raber, on Flickr

Lava Dancers was composed at Hopeland Gardens in Aiken, SC. From The Artist's Story blog post: "Upon the first look through the viewfinder at the subject in Lava Dancers, I immediately knew the title of this piece. I was initially attracted to the colors, but getting in close and seeing what...

This is another piece from my current portfolio. It was composed near my neighborhood in Aiken, SC, and I found a group of them surrounding a mailbox (some folks around here use flowers to decorate their postal box and make it look pretty). From The Artist's Story blog post: "Spiral is one of...

Another macro flower from my portfolio. This subject and a couple of others were just sitting outside the Rye Patch on the front steps as I wandered past one warm Spring afternoon a few years back. I really couldn't resist such an attractive flower. Techs: Canon 5D F/22 1.3 seconds 180mm No Flash

Took this photo 2 years ago on a park, and this is probably my most beautiful flower shot last 2015. :lovey::love_heart: What do you think of this one?

Hi, I am a beginner at photographing, and I would like to know if this photo is good or not, I accept any kinds of opinions. I wanted to upload the full size, but the file is too large...

I still don't have a very good editing program but I'm happy with how these came out.

Early spring is nicer when these start popping up. :)

Hello ! I will try to upload one photo I took each day for one month. I tried to follow all of your advice from now. Finding an interesting subject, playing with focus to add strenght to my main subject. What do you think about this one ?
