Title: Blooming Flower
Flowers... The macro photographers best friend! I've always enjoyed taking shots of flowers, but at least for me, I love pictures of them in their naturally (such as in the wild or folks gardens). Many flower photographers have lots of equipment and entire studios setup for "nature" photography (using flashes, light-boxes, light stands, etc), and you can get a great shot using these items but I feel it is counter-intuitive with flowers. Flowers are like small living paintings, that when put in such a mechanical environment loose some of their naturalistic effect.
Now, I'm not putting down using said equipment (in fact, I wish I had such stuff!), but just not for flowers. I guess my thinking is more: "Why setup a whole fake environment to get a 'perfect' shot of a flower when nature has already provided the perfect stage for them?"
Enjoy!
