I love photographing this set of pink and yellow dahlias. The colors in the flowers were just so bright and cheery. As I edited this photo, I couldn’t help but smile as I looked at it and saw the beautiful flowers and bright colors.
Continuing with my ongoing efforts to catch up on the sharing the ridiculously large backlog of photos on my hard drive . . . today I’m sharing some photos of a beautiful set of purple and white Amanda Dahlias.
I love dahlias! Especially all the shapes, colors and textures in the petals. So in the fall, I kind of go crazy photographing them – at local gardens and in the studio. Earlier this year, I photographed a set of Purple Rain Dahlias in my studio, I thought I’d share the photos of these fun flowers with you today.
Dahlias are some of my favorite flowers to photograph. Whether at a local garden, a dahlia society show or in my studio, I find myself fascinated with all the colors, shapes and patterns I see in the petals. I’ve created a video with some of my recent dahlia photos. The photos are accompanied by Clementi’s Sonatina No 5, Opus 36.
In early September I had a chance to visit Longwood Gardens for the annual Dahlia Show presented by the Greater Philadelphia Dahlia Society. I love photographing flowers at this show – there are always hundreds of spectacular dahlias at peak bloom to photograph. I thought I’d share a few of my photos from the show with you today.
