I’m honored to be a guest host for this week’s Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #101 with the topic of One Single Flower.
When I was asked to guest host, my first thought was it had to be a flower challenge and as I thought more about it, I came up with the topic one single flower. One of my favorite quotes is “If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change.” Buddha. I know flowers have changed my world.
I thought I would start with one of the first photographs I took of a waterlily. I was too afraid to buy a camera with all the lenses, so my first “serious” camera was a pre-DSLR Sony DSC-H9 on August 1, 2008. After seeing the photo above, I got hooked real fast on floral close ups. Since then I have had many cameras and lenses.
I take most of my flower photos from either my yard or various flower farms that are near me. So the majority of my flowers are in their natural outdoor setting. Because of this I’ve learned to take photos of flowers from all angles since flowers don’t always cooperate and grow away from the paths I’m allowed to stand on.
Have you ever tried to take flower photos from their back. This is a peony back.
What about a lone flower in an open field. This is a coreopsis in my yard.
You can take flowers from their sides too. This is a giant sunflower bud.
One of the hardest types of flowers to photograph is the bearded irises. I love them. It took me years to figure out how to capture them well.
And I think the most photogenic of all flowers is the dahlias. I’m fortunate enough to live in the same town as North America’s largest dahlia farm.
We look forwarding to seeing your “One Single Flower” interpretation.
Please use the tag Lens-Artists and link to my original post (the link on WP Reader does not work).
Many thanks to Tina’s (Travels and Trifles) inspiring and beautiful topic last week of “The Long and Winding Road”. Have you seen these wonderful posts from last week:
Hosts for the remaining challenges in June are:
- June 20 – Patti of P.A. Moed
- March 27 – Ann-Christine of Leya
As always, Patti, Amy, Tina, Ann-Christine, and I look forward to seeing your creative responses to this week’s challenge and thank you for your support. I hope this week is filled with inspiration and good health for you and your loved ones.
Thanks to the Lens-Artists dream team to let me share some of my love of flowers with everyone.
I’ve gathered a list of challenges and their hosts. So if you know a challenge host, please direct them to my blog. Feel free to contact me anytime. I hope everyone will be able to use my lists.

I’ve got a long way to go. I’ve been practicing macro photography during lockdown and it really is tricky. Needs lots of patience! And for that reason will probably not be main type of photography. But it teaches a lot about the camera.

LikeLike
It all depends on your lighting. If your color gets washed out I would try moving your body so you can shade the lily. That’s what I do when I’m outside. Sometimes it can be a balancing act to shade the flower and still get the angle you want. You can always get an umbrella or something to shade, but then you will need a tripod for your camera. I like to keep my hands free so I can get a good grip on my camera, since I don’t use a tripod.

Keeping the sunlight can give you too much sun. You can always lower the exposure on your camera, but you will need to take it off of auto mode if you use it. I tend to use both techniques when it’s really bright outside.
