Flowers

Dahlia Bud; studio image using window light.

Iris detail studio image. This Iris was from the TLC Greenhouse in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

I'm told a genuine Black Rose has black on the petal edges only. From Dulaney's Florist in OKC, Oklahoma.

This image was "accepted" (honorable mention) at the 43rd (2004) International competition held at the International Photography Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Studio image using experimental LED lighting.

One of my favorite studio flower shots, this image was taken with my favorite light source - natural, diffuse light from a dirty window.

Another Iris detail taken in the studio. This Iris was also from the TLC Greenhouse in Oklahoma City.

I shoot cut flowers to help pass the time in the Winter. It's also interesting to photograph unusual flowers such as this Star of Bethlehem.

Despite spending quite a bit of time on the Internet, I failed to identify this flower. Any help would be appreciated..

Taken May, 2008. Studio image with artificial lighting.

Taken as a two-shot panorama to produce a larger than normal print. The print is 30" long at 100% resolution.

Black always produces a dramatic image. I used

non-reflective fabric which ensures a uniform background.
