Five Minutes with Poppies (or Ranunculus?) 1 – RegularRandom

Today was a gorgeous day where in Melbourne – 17 degrees, with beautiful warm sunshine. I slept late, I caught up on some YouTubers I’d been missing, then I took Miss Gidget to the park. Everyone was out and about with their puppies, enjoying the fabulous warmth. A quick stop at the bakery (you know what the next set of photos is going to be!), and then a slow drive to the pet store for some treats for G. The slow traffic was no problem with the windows down, the roof open, and the music playing. Such a nice day.
I drove past a little market with flowers lining the front, and so I stopped and picked up two bunches of flowers for just $4.50 each! It seems like an age since I spent time photographing flowers. It’s certainly been a while. As I’m sure you know, it’s one of my favourite things to do. So, here is a little five minute session – I moved between the two bunches during this shoot. I took so many photos and had a lot of fun editing them. This is just the first five minutes, and I have a couple of little sets that I want to share separately as well. I hope you enjoy them. Would you like to join in the RegularRandom crew? Here’s how:
  • choose a subject or a scene
  • spend five minutes photographing it – no more!
  • try to not interfere with the subject, instead see it from many angles, look through something at it, change the light that’s hitting it
  • have fun!
  • tag your post #regularrandom and ping back to this post
Looking forward to seeing your shots. x desleyjane

    An absolutely sensational series. They are ranunculuses, not that it matters.

      Thanks so much. I thought they were ranunculus too but the sign said poppies and when I did a little google search it seemed right… hmmnnn

    Stunning, I must get some more flowers soon and shoot some more. Feels like ages, but probably not really
