Title: Trilliums
Post by: dchew on May 08, 2018, 09:01:52 am

I love these flowers, but they are a bit challenging to photograph. The variety around here are not very photogenic; just a bit of yellow on white. As they age they do get a pink tint, but by then they can look pretty ragged. They also grow low to the ground, so shooting from above tends to be busy no matter how fast the lens is. Gotta get dirty at their level.

Blooming at least a week or two later than usual this year.

I like these.
They are much better than my modest attempts to photograph Trilliums.

Most good photography required dirty trousers!

I like these too, very well done! The blooms have a lovely floating quality!

Great use of bokeh - especially on the second, which also has a more “comfortable” composition.

I also like #2 best. The arrangement of the flowers in the frame is elegant, well balanced (compared to the first shot).
Well done!
