Photographing flower gardens
10. What might you want to do with a flower garden?



1.Your digital camera's macro mode lets you get very close to a subject for stunning close-ups, which is especially important when photographing flowers. It's no wonder that, on most digital cameras, macro mode is represented by a tulip-shaped icon.

2.One of these limitations is very narrow depth of field.The other limitation, increased exposure time.

3.Bright but overcast days are best for flower photography.

4.A good way to minimize the effect of such a breeze is to stand between the flower and the wind. Take your time and take several pictures!

5. 3 or 5 flowers are more visually appealing that 2 or 4 flowers

6.trees, other plants, buildings, fences or lampposts-cast shadows on your subject.

7.A tripod steadies your camera and reduces the chance that you'll get a blurry image because of the longer exposure time required for macro photography.

8. You want to avoid a very similar background to the flower.

9. Respecting nature!!!!!!!!!

10. You may want to switch from marco mode into rthe landscape mode to get some big pictures!

This is my pattern shot.
I choosed this one because i think it was a cool idea!
The position of the camera was weired but interesting and the lighting is good.
The patterns in the picture are obvious and interesting.
The angle of the picture creates a nice illusion for example the blue boxes on the wall are seeming very tall and big

I choosed this picture because i think that it is a nice shot.
The tree does create a cool framing effect and the soft, light clouds in the background are creating a good contrast to the big and heavy seeming building! The golf carts are a little bit annoing
