Pretty Peonies
A bouquet of pretty peonies from my garden. I love these flowers 🙂
Arty Alliums
Just a quickie – this weekend has been a busy one with DIY, but I managed to spend some time taking arty shots of one of the large Allium blooms in the garden. I’ve used a very shallow depth of field to enhance the bokeh.
For the photo below I focused on the inside of the flower, which pushed everything else out of focus, although unconventional I really like the effect.
 
In most of the photos I’ve purposefully kept parts of the bloom out of focus to suggest its shape.
I think my favourite is the one below, I like it because of the light and tones I have captured in the petals.
Day 61/365 – A sea of yellow…
This flower is reaching out of a sea of yellow… maybe this week should have been ‘yellow’ week? As its winter in South Wales this is from a bunch of flowers, not the garden – which is looking pretty stark right now.
Day 55/365 – Peony still life
I decided to do some still life photos of the fake peony, I wanted something pretty and light to counteract all the darkness of early winter nights. I’ve adjusted the contrast and added bokeh.
Day 49/365 – Orchid
More of my orchids have flowered?! it must be a fluke… a very pretty one.
I’m almost up to date with my posts… Yay! 🙂
Day 48/365 – Yellow flower
A macro shot of a very unusual flower that I had in a bunch… no idea what it is but it has tentacles…
