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.

Extreme closeup photograph of the center of a white impatiens flower. This variety has white petals covered in tiny reflective patches that give the surface a shimmering appearance with the right light angle. The center is not unlike a woman's labia and vaginal opening with white fused stamens whose white, almost transparent anthers appear like labia surrounding the entrance to the nectar which resembles the vaginal opening.

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

Vertical photo of three yellow Gerbera plant flowers at the end of thick and sturdy stems above lush green Gerbera foliage with an out of focus brown-painted railing behind them. Morning sun is peeking between the railing pickets near the top of the frame. The daisies are at different heights and the lower two are still closed. As the name suggests, Gerbera flowers are shaped like daisies with layers of petals radiating from a center filled with florets.

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.

Closeup photograph of a western honeybee hanging from a purple flower attached to a long stiff but drooping stem with out of focus purples, blues, and greens in the background. I was not able to ID the flower but based on its shaped it's likely in the Ranunculus family. The flowers are at the end of stalks that droop under the flower's weight. Each flower has five light purple pointed petals that radiate from a center filled with white stamens with yellow anthers.

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.
