Earlier this year, I spent a wonderful day photographing at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. It was one of those days where the flowers were blooming, the sun was shining and I had could spend as much time as I wanted photographing. Here are a few of my photos from my day at the Atlanta Botanical Garden.

As I photographed these lavender siberian iris petals, I found myself focusing on the combination of the shades of lavender and yellow.

The photograph was taken with a Lomo Petzval Lens so I could get the nice soft feel in the photo that I was looking for.

 

This photograph is available matted to 11 X 14 for $ 54.00 and matted to 16 X 20 for $ 109.0

Azaleas, Irises and Dogwood

Azaleas, Irises and Dogwood

While I was in California last month, I spent a wonderful few hours at the Jensen Botanical Garden in Carmichael, California. I found some wonderful azaleas, irises and dogwood to photograph. All the photos were taken with my Lensbaby Velvet 56 lens.

Lavender Siberian Irises – In the Studio

Lavender Siberian Irises – In the Studio

I recently edited up a set of photos of some lavender siberian irises I photographed in my studio. As with so many other photos I’ve taken recently, I seem to be concentrating more on the shapes of the petals and the colors in the flowers rather than on the whole flower. With these wonderful siberian irises, I loved the combination of the lavender and yellow 🙂

Irises at Presby Memorial Iris Gardens II

Irises at Presby Memorial Iris Gardens II

This past spring I had a chance to stop at the Presby Memorial Iris Gardens in Upper Montclair, New Jersey. This is my favorite iris garden. If I manage to time my visit correctly, I have my choice of hundreds of bearded irises to photograph. Unfortunately, I was a little early this year. I thought I’d be there for peak bloom, but alas Mother Nature had other plans. So I didn’t have as many types of irises to photograph as I had hoped. But even so, I found some beautiful flowers to photograph. I shared the first set of my photos from Presby Memorial Iris Gardens last week, and I’m sharing the rest here today.
