A Few Hydrangeas

Whenever I photograph hydrangeas, I seem to always take lots of photos from different angles, with different focal lengths, with different apertures, etc. So I end up with lots of photos to choose from when editing and always have several photos to share.

In this post, I’m sharing photos of Pink & White Ravel Hydrangeas from Longwood Gardens and Oakleaf Hydrangeas from Mt. Cuba Center

Beautiful Hydrangeas – My New Video

Beautiful Hydrangeas – My New Video

I love photographing hydrangeas blossoms – it’s so wonderful to see some many colors of blossoms on the same plant. I also really enjoy taking close up photos of the petals to show all the wonderful details.  I’ve created a new video for you with some of my favorite photos of hydrangeas. The photos are accompanied by J.S. Bach’s Jesu Joy of Man’s Desiring.

I hope you enjoy seeing my new video

Hydrangeas are wonderful to photograph – lots of colors and textures in both the flowers and the leaves. I end up photographing them at almost every garden I go to in the summer. I thought I’d share a few of my hydrangea photos from the past couple of years that I haven’t shared in the past.

I’ve recently added a new photo – Blue Bigleaf Hydrangea Blossoms – to my BeautifulFlowerPictures.com website.

When I saw this bigleaf hydrangea plant at a local garden – all I could think was “WOW!!! What amazing shades of blue and purple in the petals!!!” And that’s what I tried to capture with my photo – all the different shades of blue and purple, combined with the wonderful shapes of the petals – to say nothing of the wonderful drops of morning dew still on the blossoms. I see and photograph hydrangeas pretty regularly at local gardens – the colors in this one were particularly striking. I hope you enjoy seeing these wonderful shapes and colors as much as I do.

Blue Bigleaf Hydrangea Blossoms  is available as a matted print on my website.

One of the flowers I love seeing at local botanical gardens are the bigleaf hydrangeas. Often times the displays look like a carpet of blossoms. I’m finding that I like filling the frame with all blossoms – so lots of close up details.

Here are some photos of bigleaf hydrangeas in shades of blue and purple I’ve taken recently.
