​Tips on
​Photographing
​Wildflowers

A paragraph from the PDF book that you can download here free:

​Photographing wildflowers can be frustrating at times.  It seems that every time I head out to a trail or meadow where wildflowers grow the wind kicks up like crazy.  Even a very mild wind can ruin a wildflower photo shoot as they are so delicate.  It takes patience to wait the wind and other conditions out but patience is what is required to get good wildflower shots.  I’m not talking about just leaning over a wildflower and snapping off a photo; my intent, when I shoot wildflowers, is to create a piece of artwork that shows the flower for the beautiful natural creation that it is or shows it as I see it as artwork.  My technique includes attempting to get a creative, well-composed shot and then using Adobe Lightroom, and sometimes Photoshop, to enhance my image.  
     So, in this book I’ll simply tell you what I do to get wildflower shots, which may differ widely from what someone else does.  I don’t think there is a right and wrong way to get these shots but some photographers do get shots that turn out much better than other photographers and there is a reason for that.     Most likely they take more care and give the subject more thought and that is what I’ll try to convey here, how to do that.  You might not like how I photograph flowers but perhaps these tips will help you to improve your wildflower photos and you might learn something you did not know or have not experienced.
