With some recent good weather i found myself unable to come up with any good reasons to not get out and do some work in the garden. Of course, i really wanted to get out and about with the camera and take some photos, but then i noticed some of the flowers were starting to come into bloom. So rather than just gardening i decided it i really had to take a few flower photos. It’s not something i do a lot of, but it’s nice to photograph some of the beauty that nature provides us with, and right outside the door too.
The main flowers coming out at the moment are Tulips
I dont know the correct name, but this is known as a Forest Flame due to the new growth being a fiery red.
These Grape Hyacinths are growing a bit wild, but theyre really nice, so im happy with that.
There are smaller Tulips growing amongst the larger ones making a nice mixture.
Taken using a Lensbaby Composer at f2.8
I couldn't resist some balck and white versions. This is a purple Tulip.
Another black and white, this time of the yellow and red Tulips.

So very different to see you photography flowers. I have to admit that normally I’m not a fan of flower photography, but I like your style.
Thank you, i’m glad you like my style
I’ve just added three more photos to the post, including a couple of black and white if you’re interested……..
Very interesting, I’m not used to seeing floral photos in black and white, I really like the last one.
A lot of people have done floral black and white photos, but you don’t tend to see them too often.
I used to be a high contrast black and white freak when used film and had use of a darkroom. I still go back to black and white quite a lot, it’s how i see things when i pick up a camera, so even flowers lose their colour
