High Key Flower Image

Using a tabletop, I placed these three flowers on a white plate and used window lighting as well as artificial light and reflectors to make this image. I added texture in post processing. I have other images from this mini-session but have yet to process anything else.

Textures and Flowers

This image was made using similar techniques discussed in the previous post. I tried it with and without a black border and it looked better to me without.

Spring Tulips Through a LensBaby

I came across a "patch" of tulips the other day and knew I had to shoot some images. Tulips are probably one of the most photographed flowers around, especially in springtime. So, with that in mind, I wanted to represent them in a different, non-conforming way. In other words, not just the usual tulip portrait.

I got a few that I liked and will share them over a few blog entries. This first one was made with a LensBaby Original and the telephoto adapter attached. I was pleasantly surprised when viewing this image in the LCD of my camera and even more surprised and satisfied when I pulled it up on my computer screen.

I know you can't tell that they are tulips, so in that sense they are non-representational of a tulip, but I think the image clearly comes across as a rainbow of flowers.
