Flowery
I have been meaning to try out a little flower photography for a while now and on the weekend I managed to pick up some A3 sized Black and white card to use as backgrounds. With the new backgrounds in hand and some new flowers (thanks to Maria) I took the chance to get some shots.
The two flowers that I took photos of were Osteospermum (some kind of daisy apparently, pictured above) and another random plant that has just started to bloom (pictured below). The random plant was pretty tricky since I have no macro lens and the flowers are quite small but because the pictured part of the plant stuck out so far it was far easier to pick out the sections that I wanted to photograph.
On the other hand the daisy was a much larger flower and therefore easier to dominate the frame with it and use some of the other flowers to set the composition off. The challenge with this flower was to separate certain sections off so as not to complicate or make the composition fussy, I ended up placing the black card background in the middle of the plant itself, balancing on the edge of the plant pot.
Here is the link to the rest of my flower shots.
