  3. You see them everywhere – in full bloom. • They are colourful and easy to photograph. • There are some tricks that can elevate your ordinary flower image into a photo that expresses a flower’s magic. • Try some of these hints – you will be amazed at the results.

  4. I purposely included my hand In the photo to emphasize the size of this flower.

  5. CAMERA TRICKS • Set your camera file size to the largest possible so you can enlarge your photo & crop without losing image quality. • Use a shallow depth of field. Set your camera to it’s lowest “f-stop” aperture to give you a sea of colour and make one flower pop out. • On a windy day, try a slow shutter speed to create a wonderful pastel image. • Get in close. Use a macro lens or setting to capture unique detail.

  6. A fairly shallow depth of field emphasizes the flower without completely eliminating the background

  7. Sometimes, you may want to include the background

  8. COMPOSITION TRICKS • Get down low – at eye level. Try unique angles. Y0U HAVE HEARD THIS BEFORE! • Look for lines, shapes and curves. • Take your photos early in the morning or just as the sun starts to set for rich lighting. • Spray on water for that “dewy” look. • Seek out interesting colours.

  9. MORE ON COMPOSITION • Place the key flower in position to utilize the “rule of thirds” for the most impact. YOY HAVE HEARD THIS BEFORE, TOO. • Try and isolate a single flower that is different from the rest, maybe in size, colour or type.

  10. Don’t’ limit yourself to garden flowers • Photograph wild flowers….. • and weeds……. • and other fauna too!

  11. BRING ALONG….. • A large card to act as a wind block. • You can also use a coloured card or a photo as a background - but remember to adjust the depth of field to put the background out of focus. • Pack a small squirt bottle with water in it. • Maybe a water bottle for yourself, too.

  12. WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH FLOWER IMAGES?? • You can use them for art prints, backgrounds or just for the joy of capturing the beauty of a flower. • Try creating a larger image and placing real flowers in front on it. • Make your own greeting cards. • Add an inspirational message to a flower image to kick start your day. • Try using flower photos to make coasters, collages, invitations and so much more. • BE CREATIVE!
