One of my hobbies is gardening. I spend a lot of time on our 2 acre property working on the landscape and our garden. We’ve been growing vegetables for years and each our garden gets bigger. As part of our garden a I always add flowers and Texas Native Plants to attract pollinators. This year our vegetable garden was flop so instead I concentrated on adding more flowering perennials and wildflowers around the property. So today I wanted to share some of my current flower photography work.
Why Flower Photography
I love color, wildlife, and just being outdoors. Some of my earliest photography work was flower photography and macro photography. And its still some of my favorite type of work. Sadly I do not spend as much time working on this type of photography.
This year I decided that I would spend some working on macro photography. Some of that work would be at car shows, exploring abandoned structures, cemeteries features, flower photography, and insect photography.
So to help practice with wildlife, flower, and insect photography I decided to add as much of native flowers and plants so I can enjoy the wildlife and photographing nature.
About the Images
Below are a handful of flowers and a few insects harvesting nectar from the flowers. Currently the flowers aren’t named but I plan to either update this article or rewrite it with links to flowers info on the gardening website. The pictures were shot by hand on a windy day using my Sony a6000 and the Sony 16-50mm f3.5-5.6 OSS Power Zoom Lens. I then used Adobe Lightroom, and Google Nik Collection to remove noise and clean up the images.
