Flowers and Photography - When Art Imitates Art
By gregoryjohnson
I just posted a slew of flower photos here on Curbly that I took today.
They are also available on my Apple MobileMe Website, Apple MobileMe Photo Gallery, Facebook, Flickr, and Google Picasaweb (in case you have a preferred method of viewing them).
In this series of photos, for several of the pictures, the photograph was taken with two exposures: normal, and then darker.
The darker underexposed photos often have a more dramatic appearance. The camera attempts to define what is an ideal exposure for the picture, but sometimes the photo would be too bright; causing the colors to be washed out a bit.
The photo to the right is an example of how an underexposed photo can have extra richness.
I hope you enjoy these. Feel free to integrate them into your latest crafty project.
Happy Friday, Curblyers!

Thanks Greg. How nice of you to allow us to use your gorgeous flower photos. One of my favorite things to photograph myself, though I usually do them in groups. I'll have to get out my trusty Pentax K1000 and it's macro lenses if I want to get really good close ups. My digi camera can only get within six inches of it's subject. With my 35mm I can get within about an inch and a half of anything. I have some awesome pix of a Praying Mantis that I swear posed for me. Also have some of a Cecropia Moth that was kind enough to open it large span wings for me too.
Again, thanks for sharing.
