The highly suggestive, perhaps even erotic, center of an impatiens flower. And that's coming from a gay man.
My technique and general philosophy
of flower photography consists of the following steps.
Step 1:
Aim for the sexy bits
That is all the steps.
I love Gerbera daisies but my garden is way too hot (surrounded by buildings/concrete) & not too far into summer they go dormant. That's okay but it stays too hot in the Fall for them to truly come back so I may have just use them as a houseplant
Favorite photo from Chicago a few yrs ago. Had recently purchased a Nikon 40mm macro lens which is also an excellent street lens. This trip I decided to restrict myself to the the 40mm only. It was a great challenge and I learned a lot.
The joy of photography is having infinite subjects. The tragedy of photography is not having enough time to photograph them all. This is from two yrs ago. Definitely need make some time to look for more jumping spider's in my garden this year.
