some old flower shots

erwinx · 24th January 2002

After reading one of the threads on flower photography, I decided to post some ancient flower photos. Some are scanned from negative film, some from 400 speed slide film (what was I thinking). The scanner is a HP photosmart. So forgive the huge amounts of grain.

These 2 were taken at Botanics. I still like these shots

(those who have seen my photo.net gallery will recognise them)

These 2 were taken at home as practice shots. Obviously, one can easily do better.

Hope this helps aspiring flower photographs. Flower photography is great practice when beginning.

Hi erwinx,

I liked the one with the 3 white orchids. If the focus can be sharper and a little more contrast can be added, that will make it even better.

Here are some of my earlier floral work:
