Almond Blossoms
I photographed the Almond blossoms with a Voigtlander 55mm lens at f1.4. The lens has a beautiful soft bokeh.

Study in Black and White
I took five different exposures of this blooming bush and overlaid them in post production. Then I created and monochromatic conversion.

Bougainvillea
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.

Agapanthus at Night
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.

Purple Daisy
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.

Overlooked Beauty
It looks like my fellow photographers are preparing for our special week in the beginning of April. From April 7th – 13th we will share our very best images of Spring Flowers on this blog.
I took my morning walk and I discovered some purple flowers on the lawn. I picked a few, put them in a water bowl and photographed them backlit. I post I just added a free Topaz O’Keeffe ii filter.

Wildflowers Carrizo Plains
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.
Enjoy the image and keep on photographing!
PS: During the First Full week in April all seven photographers will present there best images of Spring flowers on this blog. I am looking forward to it.
