Five Minutes with Closed Tulips

Welcome again toย #RegularRandom where we:

  • choose a subject or a scene
  • spend five minutes photographing it โ€“ no more!
  • try to not interfere with the subject, instead see it from many angles, look through something at it, change the light thatโ€™s hitting it
  • have fun!
  • tag your post #regularrandom and ping back to this post

Today, some tulips. I bought these when they were still closed and for once remembered to photograph them while they were closed! I love the sharp shapes that they make.

I couldn’t help myself, they’re just so pretty that I had to include all 17 shots. thee were taken over the space of 4 minutes with my old favourite, the 60mm macro lens.

I thought I’d posted the pics from when they opened up, but I didn’t! I’ll share those in another post.

Happy RegularRandom’ing!

    I’m missing the sidebar!!!

    Lovely tulips. I’m glad you posted every shot. They deserve exposure to the max. FAR better than watching the grand final.
