Tips For Flowers

When I decide it's time to take some flower pictures, I try to get out early...or late. It's so much easier to shoot in the shade and either morning or evening has such lovely light. If need be, I create shade with my body but I really prefer not to shoot in the sun.

Best flower photos I've seen on this forum, except for mine of course. LOL

I've got more ~smile~. I usually reject flowers not at their best but the lighting for Lily was too good to pass up.

You are right. This is what happened today when I was shooting this flower.

Thank you for the warm welcome. In answer to the lens question: I use a Nikon 105 VR (vibration reduction) and sometimes a monopod but usually it's hand held.

To Laura: you now know when not to shoot! Don't be afraid to clear out dead wood or any extraneous material before shooting. You aren't trying to take a snapshot - you are aiming for something artistic.
