Trying to not be a slacker husband that I am sometimes, for Juanita’s birthday, I brought home some flowers. One of which had a pretty Yellow Rose.
One afternoon while on the kitchen table I saw light hitting the flower through the blinds and could not pass up this shot.
Of course after a few days, even with the little packet, they wither and die. The reason I typically don’t get cut flowers.
On the other hand, It gives me a little creative outlet.
and a little macro to boot!

I have been thinking about doing this for a while now especially since I rented the Canon Macro lens a few weeks ago.
This type of photography is a little harder than you would think. I need a REAL white background instead of poster board. I used cheap reflectors and garage lamps with LED, and curly CFL bulbs for lighting. Sometimes I used flash as a fill and flood. The problem is too many shadows. Some turned out nice and I may print a few.
These are from our flower beds.
I bought a single yellow rose to play with as well
Juanita got these in a vase for Halloween with a little scare crow. They are about on their last leg but make a pretty good photo.
A neighbor has these Mexican Sunflowers in her flower beds at an apartment down the street. Yes, I asked before I cut them.
A pink rose from the front yard.
This is my favorite of the bunch.
Until next time, on to the next adventure!
