Orange Ranunculus © 2016 Patty Hankins
I’ve recently added a new photo – Orange Ranunculus – to the shop on my BeautifulFlowerPictures.com website.
So by now, you’ve probably figured out I really like to photograph ranunculus flowers in my studio. I’m able to capture all sorts of details in the studio that I’m not able to capture in a garden. In part this is because the ranunculus flowers are very delicate – so I rarely find them in good shape in gardens. The other reason I’m able to get photos I’m much happier with in the studio is that I can control the lighting and exactly where the flowers are in relation to my lens.
While photographing some orange ranunculus flowers not long ago I tried to create some photos of the petals that were almost abstract images. This is one of my favorites from the set. In many ways – the photo is all about the colors and textures in the petals and not about the flower itself.
Orange Ranunculus is available as a matted print on my website.
