Hydrangeas

So I have a large collection of gorgeous Hydrangeas that I planted in my garden last year. Some are growing wildly while some are taking their sweet time. Before the season ends I like to go into my garden and get the prettiest pom poms that I can find to bring them in the house to dry. This way I can enjoy them during the winter months when my garden goes bare.

I was taking product photos today and decided to see how one of my dried multi colored Hydrangeas would look in my light studio. After playing around, I like the final results.

This is the normal shade of this particular Hydrangea that I dried.

This is with a color wash..

A black and white vintage version..

See what procrastination can do to a person? Ok, I need to get back to work. :P

hugs,

I have a thing for great photography. It has to do with having just the right subject, lighting, ambiance, and skill. Not everyone can just pick up a camera take a couple photos and successfully market them..you need the “eye”. I do not have this gift so I happily admire the works of people that do. Lucy Snowe obviously has the eye and you can see it through her beautiful photography. I remember the first time I saw her work, it was this photograph that grabbed me.

Stop by her shop and take home a print of your very own.

These photographs are amazing and I just could not pass up the opportunity to write about this artist. Retrospect Photo definitly has the eye and knows how to take shots to enhance the subjects. There’s currently a buy one, get one free promotion running so be sure to stop by and take a look around. I’m sure you’ll find something that you can’t live without.

5×7 Vintage Thread Posey Series Metallic Fine Art Photograph

I came across the shop of Patina Photography and instantly loved her photographs taken of spools of thread. I don’t know what it is about thread that I am drawn to..Maybe it’s the fact that handmade sewn items all start from here..in it’s simplest form.

Yvette Inufio Photography is beyond spectacular. I found this artist today while browsing Etsy and instantly went to her shop and was amazed at how beautiful her photography was. I love everything – the tones, hues and softness that you see in every photograph. Le Sigh…
