Good
timing is one of the most important instincts a
photographer should have. A good sense of timing for
photographers is as important as saying the right word
at the right time. By good timing, I'm not necessarily
referring to the time of day; but more importantly, it
is when the flower is at its peak and the full-bloom is
fresh void of any wilting. Sometimes, buds make good
photographs; but usually the full-bloom is considered to
be the *peak* time to capture a flower's beauty and
visual essence. In photography, premium quality
photography occurs when the *peak* moment is captured
and frozen in time.If you have the software, Photoshop
or other equivalent software, don't be overly concerned
about flawed petals or tiny bugs or specks on the flower
especially if you know how to clone them out. If you are
not sure about taking this approach, then inspect the
flower for imperfections and remove the damaged petals
and small insects just prior to taking your picture. If
you have a bottle to mist the flower, use it! Water
droplets look awesome on flowers! Drops of dew and water
drops are delightful and visually refreshing.GiftLands -

take not-so-tight pictures of flowers, because the
closer I get to them (with my camera anyway), the odds
of experiencing distortions and blurred pictures
increases. My best advice is to take six or more images
of each flower (from different angles). Try some with
the flash on and others with it off. Make sure to watch
your background.

getting close-up to the flower, if you have software to
crop the image at home—so much better! If not, try to
get as close as you can to the flower head. One more
suggestion: try to leave a natural green frame around
the flower. The greenery sets off the color just
perfectly! Next time you see a beautiful flower, don't
procrastinate! Lost moments, photographically speaking,
are a dime a dozen! (revised 2/15/2006)
