Triptych in White

The first photo below was the first photo I took from the bunch of flowers featured in yesterday’s RegularRandom. In editing the photo, I fell in love with it and so went searching for a couple of others to create this little triptych for you.

These were taken in my usual fashion of standing by the window, camera hand-held, 60mm macro lens. I really should take the time to set up my tripod, but these turned out nice and sharp anyway, so I’m pretty happy with the results.

Here are a couple more shots of these gorgeous things:

Have a fab day or evening, wherever you may be!

    In a stark white room, wouldn’t these be wonderful?!
    Desley, help me out, please. I don’t quite understand the number…I have a 40 mm macro lens. What is the difference between mine and your 60mm? Thanks for your help.

      Thanks Lois. I’m thinking about putting them up in my bathroom. It means that your lens is wider than mine – you have to get closer to the subject than I do. For example, if we were both using them to take photos of the same thing, you would have to stand closer to get the same shot. Hope that helps?

    I share your feelings about tripods — I know I should get it, it’s just in the cupboard, but it seems like too much work. 😦

    The petals look so velvety and soft. Beautiful shots, Desleyjane.

      Thanks so much Jane. They have really come alive today, so more shots are required 😊

    These are lovely. And I’m impressed that they’re hand-held.

      Thanks so much Su. I rarely drag out the tripod these days, except for flatlays 😊

        I use mine a lot, mostly because I don’t have good lighting and it means I can use a very long exposure.

    Lovely shots. I’m making connections this morning – have you thought of asking Cee Neuner to add regularrandom to her list of photo challenges? She’s a sweetheart and her list is far more accurate than the old one was.
