Apricot Tulips in the Studio

by hankinslawrenceimages | Feb 20, 2019 | In the Studio, Liliaceae Family

I recently got a bunch of apricot tulips and had a wonderful time photographing the patterns in the petals. I loved seeing the ever-changing combinations of red, white, cream and yellow depending on how I lit the tulip and what angle I photographed from.

I recently photographed a couple of sets of tulips in my studio – I thought I’d share the photos with you today. Believe it or not – I bought both sets of tulips at my local grocery store!

This first set were parrot tulips – with red, great, yellow, and orange in the petals. They reminded me of all the colors in the rainbow

The second set were simple pink & white tulips with slightly pointed tips on the petals

I’ve recently added a new photo Orange Parrot Tulip to my website at https://beautifulflowerpictures.com/store/tulip-orange-parrot/

I love Parrot Tulips. When this one opened up the petals folded outward allowing me to capture the beauty of the fully open blossom in a way I hadn’t seen before

This photograph is available matted to 12 X 12 for $ 49 and to 16 X 16 for $ 89.

A Few Flowers in My Studio

As I’m working my way through the backlog of unedited photos on my hard drive (which could easily keep me busy for the rest of my life), I’ve found a few photos of flowers photographed in my studio that I haven’t shared. So I thought I’d share some of them here today

A Visit to Gibbs Gardens

While I was in Georgia earlier this year, I spent a wonderful day exploring Gibbs Gardens in Ball Ground, Georgia. As botanical gardens go, Gibbs Gardens is a fairly new garden. Established by Jim Gibbs, an Atlanta Landscape Developer, the garden was developed starting the 1980s. It currently covers over 200 acres and includes three feature gardens – the Manor House Gardens, the Japanese Gardens and the Waterlily Gardens. Gibbs Gardens is known for the hillsides of daffodils that bloom each spring. The day I visited was just as the daffodils were finishing their bloom – I would love to get back some year and catch them in full bloom.

Here are some of my photos from my visit to Gibbs Gardens.

Spring at Longwood Gardens II

by hankinslawrenceimages | May 24, 2018 | Amaryllidaceae Family, Liliaceae Family

I spent a wonderful day photographing at Longwood Gardens earlier this month. I’d gone up to Kennett Square in search of tulips. I was a little late for peak tulip bloom but I did find lots of flowers to photograph – including a few tulips. I shared a few of my photos earlier this week – here are the rest of my photos from a wonderful day at Longwood Gardens
