Flora in the frame
If you’re lucky enough to receive a gift of flowers – or know someone who has – the urge to photograph them is hard to resist. It’s an opportunity to try out some macro shots and capture a frame filled with colour.
The downside of this photographic urge is to create something that is engaging and avoids the twee and the slightly nauseating. Here are a few of my own efforts, thanks to an extravagant bouquet my mother received for her birthday and a thoroughly romantic gift (red roses) from my partner Dermot.
At least when the blooms have long withered and died, you have a permanent memory of them. Do you find the compulsion to capture your flowers impossible to resist?
Are there simply too many floral photographs?…

Oftentimes I will buy flowers JUST for that purpose! Of course the added benefit is the beauty they add to the house. But yes, I am completely like you in that regard! Beautiful photos! :)

Thank you very much, Tina. I’ve yet to buy flowers especially, but you’ve put an idea in my head :-)
