Flowers Anyone?

@Colin Graham - what an awsome picture! One of the best I have ever seen!

Flower photography is one of my secret passions. There are so many flowers and so many ways on how to present them in a picture. Thanks to all of you for sharing.
I am new to this forum and somehow didn't manage to post the picture that I did for a London flower delivery company of a beautiful bouquet of roses. I will try to edit the post later.

Blowballs from me. Repro-Claron 305mm, Fomapan 100, available outdoor light, no photoshopping of the background, just how I found and shot the scene.

Another shallow DoF experiment, testing a 90/6.8 Angulon on 4x5, close up and wide open.

Damn Scott,,, I wish my photos were as good as your experiments

Jiri,

Awesome photograph! It really gives me a feeling of being young again and finding the blowballs to make a wish and blow. I love the DoF!

Really gorgeous. i can't get over the 3 dimensionality of these ambrotypes.

thanks, Jim! Wet plate really looks like nothing else, does it?

Here's another from the same session this weekend, again, a 4x5" clear glass ambrotype. Again, with my VERY messy developing technique, and a good half pound of dust thrown in courtesy of my bathroom fan...
