Graveyard Angel with Rose Metarie Cemetery New Orleans Palladium Toned Kallitype © 2019 Patty Hankins
I’ve recently added a new palladium-toned kallitype – Graveyard Angel with Rose Metarie Cemetery New Orleans Palladium Toned Kallitype to my website at https://beautifulflowerpictures.com/store/graveyardangelwithrose/
A beautiful kneeling angel holding a rose at Metarie Cemetery in New Orleans, Louisiana
This photograph is printed using the late 19th-century photographing printing process known as Kallityping. The emulsion is hand-painted onto the paper, exposed with a negative under bright lights, and toned with palladium. Each print from a negative is slightly different – so these are one of a kind images.
The photographs are printed on 8 X 10″ Bergger 100% Cotton Cot 320 paper. They are matted to 11 X 14″ in a white acid-free mat.
These one-of-a-kind kallitypes are available for $ 49.00

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been spending hours photographing flowers in gardens, parks and arboretums. As much as I love seeing the daffodils, tulips, grape hyacinths, and other garden flowers, I’m even happier every year to see all the spring wildflowers. So many of them are so delicate and bloom for only a short time in very specific places, that I always feel like I’ve received a gift from Mother Nature when I see and photograph them.
I thought I’d share some of my favorite spring wildflowers photos from this year with you.

I’m hoping to find more wonderful spring wildflowers to photograph this year. If you’d like to see what I’m finding, be sure to follow me on Flickr – https://www.flickr.com/photos/pattyhankins/. Lately I’ve been posting photographs there as soon as I edit them.

As I’ve been editing photos this spring – I found several older iris photos I hadn’t edited or shared. And then with the flowers starting to bloom here in the DC area – I was able to photograph some dwarf irises. I thought I’d share all my recently edited iris photos with you today.

Pink & White Lisianthus © 2019 Patty Hankins
I’ve recently added a new photo – Pink & White Lisianthus – to my website at https://beautifulflowerpictures.com/store/pink-white-lisianthus/
I bought these beautiful lisianthus blossoms from one of the local flower farmers here in Maryland. I really enjoy talking to the people who grow my subjects about their farms and sharing with them how I’m going to be using their flowers in my photographs.
When I saw these lisianthus at the market, I loved seeing how some were pink, some were white and some were white with hints of pink. When I brought them together as a bunch, all of a sudden I saw the pink leading back from the front flower into the sea of white in the other blossoms.
This photograph is available matted to 11 X 14 for $ 54 and 16 X 20 for $ 109.

It’s not too late to join me for a week of photographing flowers in early May in Philadelphia.
I still have a few openings in my May 5 – 11 Photographing the Gardens Workshop. You can learn more about the workshop and register at https://beautifulflowerpictures.com/store/photographing-the-gardens-of-philadelphia-may-2019/
During the workshop we’ll explore and photograph at several of the gardens in the Philadelphia area including
- Bartram’s Garden where Philadelphia’s gardening tradition began,
- Longwood Gardens with its extensive gardens on the former estate of Pierre S. and Alice du Pont in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania,
- Mt. Cuba Center with its native plant gardens and landscapes in Hockessin, Delaware,
- Winterthur Gardens where Henry Francis du Pont designed his estate to be a work of art showcasing nature’s beauty,
- Chanticleer Gardens established as a pleasure garden in Wayne, Pennsylvania, and
- Shofuso House and Gardens, a Japanese Garden in Philadelphia.
We’ll also spend time discussing how to create the photographs you envision in the field and in post-processing. Talks during the workshop will include
- Capturing What You See. We’ll talk about composition, lens choice, depth of field and using a tripod,
- Nuts and Bolts of Flower Photography. We’ll talk about F-stops, shutter speeds, ISO, exposure compensation and histograms,
- Quick Edits in Lightroom. We’ll talk about a few quick edits you can make to your photos that will make them “pop”, and
- Working with Textures in Photoshop. We’ll talk about ways you can add another dimension to your photos using textures.
If you’d like more information about workshop, please visit my website at https://beautifulflowerpictures.com/store/photographing-the-gardens-of-philadelphia-may-2019/
If you’re not sure if this workshop is right for you, drop me a note and we’ll find time to talk.
I’d love to have you join me for a week of photographing flowers in America’s Garden Capital.
