The Clematis Bloomed This Week

Camera Club May 2021 Winning Photos

1st place Macro theme.  One of the petals fell off after this one shot.  I called this tulip death, since I could see inside because the flower was wilting.


2nd place Macro theme. A nautilus shell.  I used a flash plus a small flashlight to light up the underside of the shell to add depth.

Iris

There is more than one way to photograph an iris.

Temporary Beach

The sunset light makes this look like Autumn.

I sometimes walk to a local public boat ramp nearby.  After lots of wind the last few days, the tides were extremely low and a huge beach appeared.  The first photo was taken April 16th, followed by April 26th both near sunset and the next 2 photos were taken a few days later on May 1st from virtually the same place.  Add a few palm trees and it could be from the Caribbean!

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
