As I indicated in my previous entry, I have recently come to realize that flowers that are not freshly cut and in full bloom are entering a more visually interesting phase.
I had the studio set up to take some pictures of dolls for one of the fellow artists at the Torpedo Factory. Walking out to the car I spotted a tiger lily that was. how shall I put this, entering a different phase of its existence. It was quite interesting and I cut it off and took it into the studio to photograph.
To make a long story short, I have made about 300 photographs of flowers in various states of transition. Nothing exceeds like excess! No flower in the neighborhood is safe. Folks are leaving flowers for me in my mailbox at the Factory and in sacks attached to the door of my studio.
I think the word is out that if you have dead flowers, give them to Jim.
A little note on the technical side. These are taken with my Nikon D800e and the Nikor 105mm macro lens. I used Helicon Focus software to focus stack the images to that I could get the depth-of-field required to execute the images the way I wanted. You can see more here.
