I rather like taking photographs of pretty flowers, they’re one of the few subjects for which I am often pleased with the results, though they do become a little boring after a while. I took the following picture in my boyfriends garden when we visited his parents in London, added a simple dark blue exclusion layer in Photoshop, and this is the result. It is perhaps a little dark for my style, but I quite like the overall effect.
Sometimes I wish I had some brothers or sisters to practice my skills with, or that I had more snapshot talent so that I could be brave enough to ask my friends to allow me to photograph them. In the mean time, I shall stick to pretty flowers.
I have been thinking about investing in a longer lens so that I can take some pictures of things at a distance, I often see scenes that I think would make a beautiful photograph, but my camera’s kit lens just doesn’t quite do the job. If anyone else uses a Sony Alpha DSLR, please comment with your recommendations!
