Five Minutes with Delphiniums – RegularRandom

I recently found out that I’m allergic to dahlias – gasp! Such a shame, since as you probably know, I like to pick up a little bouquet every now and again to photograph and dahlias tend to be in prevalent in those.

So today, the florist and I decided to put together these delphiniums and baby’s breath, and so I spent quite a bit of time with them. Here’s the first five minutes, for the RegularRandom treatment.

In the next five minutes, we go closer (of course ๐Ÿ˜‰).

Would you like to join in the RegularRandom crew? Hereโ€™s how:

  • 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

Looking forward to seeing your shots.

    I love these pictures and the way they capture the spirit of the flower. The bottom left one is particularly stunning.
