Flower Photography

April 1, 2014 by Mary Buck

I must admit that I love to photograph flowers. Last week, I spent about 1 hour photographing daffodils at the edge of my driveway. I was driving home from a networking meeting around 9AM and I noticed the light on the newly formed flowers was just right, so I quickly grabbed my camera and starting shooting. I even went over to my neighbors yard.  Sometimes I wonder what the neighbors think when they see me lying down with my camera so I can capture different angles.  Oh well, I guess they must think I am a photo nerd!

The next couple weeks are going to be incredible for photographing flowers in Atlanta. Here are a couple tips for capturing flowers:

  1.  use a tripod, especially for closer in shot
  2. experiment shooting at different angles
  3. shoot wide open – now is the time for the nifty fifty where you can open up to 1.8
  4. watch for shadows that you might cast on a flower. Sometimes it is better to step back and use a telephoto lens.

Below are some of the shots I took last week.  Enjoy!
