How Close Can You Get?

Tonights post is simply a close up of a flower. The question is How Close Can You Get? And do you think there is a limit as to how close you should get?

Spring Flowers Are Just Around the Corner

With the threat of 4 inches or more of snow. I thought a quick look at a Spring flower was in order. This is a Trillium that I photographed in Ohiopyle State Park.

I’m really getting tired of looking at old photos I can’t wait for the weather to break so I can get out and take some new photographs.

Flower Power

Tonight I bring you a random assortment of flowers. To me it’s amazing how flowers can make you forget about the hustle of the day. They seem to have a way of calming a person down.

Hope you enjoy.

It’s an Orchid Night

Tonight I have three photos of orchids to share with you.

Hope you enjoy.

Out of the Snow Comes the Tulip

Tonight’s post is a collection of red tulips to keep us all looking forward to spring and warmer weather. I am most definitely looking forward to spring flowers. By the way it is currently 24 degrees.

A Touch of Color

Tonights post is a tulip I shot a while ago. I sometimes like to play with selective color or partial color in a photograph.

A Leaf is Just a Leaf

Tonight photo is a simple macro shot of a couple of leaves that I took at a recent stop at Phipps Conservatory, in Pittsburgh. I really enjoy macro photography and the extremely limited depth of field that you encounter, although it can be very frustrating the results are well worth the time and effort.

This is shot with a Nikon D300 and a Sigma 150mm macro lens.

An Intimate Portrait of an Orchid

As some of you may have noticed I like to photograph flowers. I’m really not sure what the allure os but I have always found them to be amazing. Then, one day, I started taking photos of orchids and haven’t stopped since. There is just something about the orchid that catches my eye. I guess it’s their delicate nature that I try to capture in a photograph. I have photographed many different types, colors, shapes, and sizes of orchids but have definitely fallen in love with the white orchid. Todays post is an intimate look at a white orchid.

I hope you enjoy. Which view do you like the best?

Portrait of an Orchid

So yesterday the photography club I belong to took a trip to Phipps Conservatory in Pittsburgh, Pa. This is always a nice trip for those that go and we had a great time. And on a side note we always go as a group out for a late lunch and yesterday we went to the Spaghetti Wearhouse, another one of my favorite places to go.

Hope you enjoy the flower portraits:
