Fritillary and Double Daff

Hot off the press so to speak!! Maybe the last of the daffs, a double one – not my favourite but nice colours! The other is a very smelly plant but quite spectacular! Next stop bluebells and bluebell woods!! As always further examples at http://www.flickr.com/photos/reflexrover and prints are available direct from me – leave a comment bor email roger@theoneimage.net – look out for the announcement of my new web site www.tamarvalleyphotos.co.uk where they will be for sale (hopefully in a few weeks!)

Flowering Current

The daffs are nearly over, I am just sorting out the last of the photos now. I also have an exotic flower – and it is a good job this is not smell-o-vision because it pongs rather strangely! Again, that will be ready soon! So, what was in the garden and then answer was the current bush – and as the youth of today say – well covered! I stole a bit and had my wicked way in the studio………. These photos are as shot except for the ratio – I am getting into square photos at the momemt – just ordering some square prints to see how they look! Beware Flowering Current is poisoness – especially the ‘currents’ – a shame as it is so wonderful in appearance!

Spring in the Studio

Although it has been great weather the wind has been waving the daffodil heads around so a few still moments in the studio have produced a few pictures – these are unedited, and as always available as limited edition prints! More at http://www.flickr.com/photos/reflexrover

The last of the Snowdrops!!

Snowdrop

At the beginning of the year I decided to reduce the number of photos on the blog, I know that sounds strange …….. So, I hope I have managed to select the One Snowdrop out of the many taken. As normal loads more at Flickr.com and of course I am always willing to sell them printed upto nearly 4 foot wide – smaller sizes also available!

So here are some more

One of each – a tulip and crocus from the garden, a orange centred daffodil from a friends land and red and purpl/blue primulas from the plant stall down the road! Photographed in my tiny studio using flash, daylight low energy spots, background card and a spray gun! Enjoy! And as normal loads more at http://www.flickr.com/photos/reflexrover//sets/72157626047684117 Did I mention these are for sale – resticted and limited editions up to nearly 4 foot on the longest edge, even larger are possible!

Two Pots, 2 Flowers from the garden and a Daffodil!

First Garden Tulip

But, you will only see one today! With a studio shoot of 412 and some of them cracking shots as Wallace would have said (that is Wallace and Gromet not Mrs Wallace!) it will take a while to reduce the number to a manageable size! New back lighting has been fun and very effective! Anyway to wet your appetite – or drive you away completely…………………

Playing with light!

I tried a few outdoor flowers but the wind and the slugs were too much! So, back in the studio, a new cut out for the snoot and some nice local daffodils and crocus and off I went! More at http://www.flickr.com/photos/reflexrover in the new Spring 2011 ptIII set. And my photos are for sale!!

Spring again!

Whilst the weather stays bright I seem to be in the studio – somewhat perverse you may think! Anyway, some of the specie flowers have wilted, but the crocus and a nice hyacinth given to us are still going strong, so they were shot! Also, in the garden was a log that had been growing fungi for a while seem a suitable subject! On a technical note the snoot has been oin action and so has the mister, I am still not sure about misting flowers…… Next will be daffodils, there is a bunch starting to open on the studio table at this very moment (of course if you read this later it will not be true!). Of course more pictures are available at Flickr.com in my Spring 2011 pt II set (direct link)

Spring – Sprung – Sprong

Or so it seems, still cold, wet, frosty …… but the Snowdrops are out! Also, the nursery had potted specie iris and crocus so I could not resist!! So armed with spray gun, camera, flash and snoot it was time to spend a happy hour or so in the studio. Trying to continue on from last spring of lighting the flowers from the inside but very hard with such spikey plants!! Lots more at Flickr.com
