Flowers like Painted in my Garden

by Kakapo2 - last update: Apr 29, 2009

Close-ups of simple flowers can create dramatic photo effects.

Many digital cameras have settings for such shots. The only thing you have to do is trying not to tremble while you hold the camera close to the blossom. This is easier said than done at such close range if you do not use a tripod. So also patience is an important factor, as you might have to take the shot several times until it is sharp.

The photo above shows a detail of an orange pansy.


These flowers are Nicotiana, or: flowering tobacco.

They are annuals and have a very long flowering season. Also available in more striking red and white.


That is a new dahlia species which starts flowering much earlier than other dahlia species. It has rather blackish foliage which makes it a very striking plant in the garden.


The centre of a petunia.


A different dahlia species.


Detail of a lily.


A differently coloured blossom of the tobacco flower. The special thing about this plant is that the flowers are so round-shaped. Mostly they are rather pointed.


Yellow pansy.

 Howdy Sissi, Thank you kindly for visiting my Atlanta page, unfortunately the hubby didn't have enough time to see Margaret Mitchell quarters, but the Underground Atlanta has seen many Civil Rights movements.
