A few droplets of water on a flower can transform an OK photo into a great photo. Here, the droplets create leading lines that draw the viewer's eye from the bottom left through the entire frame to top right. No rain in sight? Make your own water spray using an inexpensive atomizer sprayer.
One of my photography students is going up to see a concert at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA on Friday night. He asked me if I have any tips on photographing flowers. This one is for you, John!
A few drops of water on your flower can make the difference between an OK photo and a great photo, whether it’s through reflections in the water, or using a water drop to create a point of interest, or using multiple droplets to create lines that lead the viewer’s eye through the photo to a final resting point. And although you can’t control the weather, you can still make your own water drops by simply using an atomizer sprayer. Buy an atomizer sprayer here for $7.99+shipping.
My final tip today is about Longwood Gardens. Check out their Fireworks & Fountains program! It looks BEAUTIFUL!!! I’ve got to get up there this summer for one of those!!!
