Azaleas Part 2

We dropped by Annmarie Garden again to photograph the azaleas.  This time I remembered to bring my flash.  I especially like the multicolored ones.  So pretty!












This one was made of 2 photos edited together to make it sharper.

Fun with Peppers!

 I wanted to try a still life of peppers, but I don't even like to eat them!  I gave a few away afterwards. They have such bold colors and fun shapes.

                       This LaRouge pepper looked like a little family at the right angle.

Same pepper, different angle.

                                      I used a light box for this one, shot from above.




                    I shook the camera a little for this one to make the glow.

Tulip Still Lifes

I bought some tulips from the grocery store, not knowing what color they would be from curbside pickup.  Tulips don’t grow well in our yard, so I thought it would be fun to photograph some.  I played with still lifes using 2 flashes and a flashlight on black velvet.


This was about shapes.


I shined a flashlight on the tulip and tried to get a reflection in the lens ball.


I used a red flashlight pointed at the bowl.


And played with black and white.


Just playing with 3s. 3 groups, 3 books
