Quick tips on taking flower pictures:

Dear Fellow Gardeners,

Taking pictures of your flowers is as rewarding as growing them. Since digital cameras have come into play, taking photos is an inexpensive way to preserve each beautiful blossom. Here are a few tips to get you started.

The best time for taking pictures is in the early morning when the flowers are still covered by dew. The dew enhances the colors and will make the picture even more appealing. You can also achieve this look by misting flowers with a spray bottle.

Overcasts days rule when it comes to taking pictures of flowers. Try using your flash on and off, for incredibly different illuminated photos.

When taking pictures of individual flowers you may want to blur the background for a softer look. It will intensify the look of the flower and unclutter the picture.

If you aren't as steady as you would like them to be, invest in a tripod. I've tried holding my breath until I've almost passed out in the flower bed. A tripod helps. :)

It's very helpful if you have a camera that caters to close- ups, or better yet, has a macro lens but a zoom will also work.

Finally take as many pictures as possible. Depending on the flower, its blossom may not last long or may begin to look haggard. Taking that perfect shot could mean moving around to get a different composition.
