Fine Art Flower Photography

Wild Daisy and Clover
(Canon 5d camera, 180mm macro lens, aperture f32)

This photograph was inspired by Tony Sweet, one of my photographic heroes. An excellent photographer, teacher and author. His fine art photography series of books are incredible. Check out is work here.

I just finished an online fine art flower photography course taught by Tony and learned several creative techniques and new perspectives that will improve my flower photography. I'll never look at flower gardens or a patch of wild flowers the same since taking the class.

This daisy was growing wild in the weeds at the end of my driveway. The lens was just a few inches away from the daisy while the clover providing some blurred detail in the background was around 20 feet away.
