  I LOVE shooting flowers, because of the challenge, but also because of the almost limitless variety of shape form and colour they offer. They are also incredibly beautiful.

  Here are some of my flower photos on Flickr.

  To be a bit unique, I’ve also experimented with 3D flower photography, something I really want to do more of.

  The selection you have found for us is truly inspiring and beautiful! I think I’ll have to shoot some more flowers this weekend :) Thank you!

  These are quite lovely. But there are SO many flower photos out there, because so many of us love looking at them and trying to capture what we see. So how do we make our flower photos better?

• Ken Howe Says:

  I just discovered how interesting plant photography can be a few years ago. This collection is exquisite and superbly refeshing. I look for flower subjects frequently and now am inspired to look for more.

• cappy1927 Says:

  I recently finishing viewing the flower photos and I would like to know the data on how these photos were made. After all we are in school. I can get the data on the photos I take but not on other peoples. Your help would be appreciated.

• Teewinot Says:

  Wow, gorgeous bunch of shots!

• Bev Says:

  I agree with Cappy1927. We are all learning. When pictures
  are submitted, we would love to hear how it was taken. All
  the pictures were great. The man holding a Pentex camera caused me to wonder what the “handles ” were on the camera.
  Is this common for pentex cameras? I thought the handles sure would help stablize hand held shots—right?

• Jon Says:

  I love it when you do posts like these. Please, keep them up!

• Serge Says:

  My tips on photographing flowers:
  1. get down on your knees or even flat on the ground; that’s where the flowers are. It’s like photographing kids, get down to there level.
  2. take the time to look at them, turn around and around for more point of view and you’ll see your shot taking shape.
  3. find the light! fill flash is often great to capture more details of these beauties.
  4. watch the background… often shooting slightly downwards remove a whole lot of undesired stuff behind. Keeping a very narrow depth of field will also help achiving this.

  Happy shooting!

  Very nice shots… I can see how this can inpire you to buy that next macro lens….

• Fern R Says:

  One of them is not a flower :)

  Which one are you referring to? If you’re talking about the black and white shot, it’s calla lily leaves, which is not a flower, but it’s also not a shell…?!

• S.Raj babu Says:

  Hi !

  All the photos are great.

  Had a nice effect on me to go shooting the flowers.

  thanks.

• Jane Leech Says:

  Truly inspiring but also makes one think whether one should just give up now!!! Great shots.

• toola Says:

  very inspiring shots - I love the ones by rosemary especially. thanks for posting these!

• Daniel Condurachi Says:

  Very beautiful and inspiring. Thank you God for creating so much beauty!

• Neil Creek Says:

  I give the credit firmly to mother nature, and of course the extremely talented photographers who captured the beauty.

• Peter Hooper Says:

  Fantastic shots. I love the ones with the reflections in the water droplets.. truly inspiring stuff. I have been photographing quite a lot of flowers myself lately and this just gives me more reason to do some more.

• Erika Says:

  Maybe my next lens will be a macro lens.

• Pat Buchannon Says:

  My 14-year-old nephew picked up my digital camera yesterday and took some of the most beautiful pictures of flowers I’ve seen. I would love to share these with this site because he doesn’t even own a camera. I’m wondering if we should make the investmemt for him, but need an expert’s opinion of his photos. How do I submit one?

• Mark H Says:

  Some very inspriring photos. Wish there were mountains like that in the UK :)

• Debbie Says:

  Flowers are one of my favorite subjects to photograph (I also enjoy animals and rock formations/faces). You can view my photos at http://innerbeing.aminus3.com/portfolio/.

  I not only will get down to flower level, I try and use the sun to my advantage as it lights up the inner part(s) of the flower(s).

  I absolutely love the macro/super macro on the Canon S3IS…it lets you get down to 0″ and on many occasions I’ve ended up with pollen on the lens as I didn’t realize I was that close.

• RayPG Says:

  I got another photo of another flower a lion tooth

  http://www.flickr.com/photos/raypg/2223965255/

  This was kinda tricky to get but I got it in the right moment :D Hope you enjoy :D

• Karo Says:

  There are so many fabulous flower photographers on flickr it’s a bit befuddling to me why the author of this post simply posted multiple photos from the same few people. They’re lovely, of course, but it would be nice to have seen some other photographers and styles showcased among the 41. Just a few examples from my own contact list:

• Mathieu Says:

  Those are all lovely shots! I agree with Serge, he offers great tips! I always forget how I can use my flash, even in the middle of the day, to get all those details.

• div^ Says:

  Hi,

  Each of those fotos is a beauty for itself. Those colors are just vibrant and wonderfully looking for the viewers eye.
