Appleberry Photography - Flower Photograhy

Summer photography is in full swing in many places in the USA.  Notwithstanding the devastating floods in Louisiana and the droughts in some parts of our country.  For many photographers capturing the summer with water crafts, animals, picnics, vacations, and one of our favorite:  flower photography.   There is something, at least to us, about the beauty of flowers that creates fantastic photographs.

But how do you take close up photos of flowers that will do them justice?

Many cameras already have a preprogrammed icon with close up flowers.

Those are fine! Even wonderful.  They take the guess work out of shutter speed and aperature settings

Other times the photographer sets up the shot and photographs the flower (s) at the opportune moment.  And by that we mean no wind, no camera shake, no insects (unless you want one) on the flower.  You also need to examine the flowers before you set up  the shot to make sure there are no dead petals, leaves, or stems.
