entry description
This is a composite of orchid flowers. I noticed that as the flowers aged and fell off they acquired a more textured look, which I liked very much. I photographed them separately on a lightpad and arranged them in Photoshop. I made some colour alterations, and used a blending mode which allowed them to overlap with some transparency. To me they now feel as if they are flowing on water together.about the photographer
I live in Manchester, UK, and have been a keen macro photographer since 2017. Macro photography combines my love of nature and art into a passion for capturing the beauty of the world of minibeasts, flowers, leaves and fungi; I am no happier than when kneeling in front of a butterfly in a wildflower meadow, Nikon D500 in hand. I also enjoy landscapes, astro, and abstract photography. I give talks to camera clubs on several photography topics.back to gallery
