I arranged bougainvillea blossoms on a white pad and created a so called High key stack of several images. These images I combined in post production using layer and masking techniques to create this image.

Actually I was looking for different ideas photographing flowers. So I tried to experiment with my off camera flash. I stopped my lens down to f11 and used the flash from the bottom up. This is what I got.

In order to bring out the beauty of this single purple Daisy I increased the contrast twofold. First I added a spotlight effect onto the center of the Daisy. Second I darkened and slightly blurred the green background.

The contrast of yellow and purple blossoms is breathtaking at Carrizo Plains located about 100 miles northwest of Los Angeles. There are no trees growing on these hills due to the very low precipitation. If there is some rain falling during the winter month the wildflowers are coming out in full bloom.

When I walked outside early this morning I noticed that the light was very soft. I grabbed my 180mm macro lens, camera and tripod and photographed the trumpet vine blossoms in my back yard. The yellow purple contrast was striking to me, In order to emphasize the contrast even more I used a very narrow depth of field and in addition I spot sharpened the yellow part.
Enjoy and keep on photographing!
