Ranunculus

A trip to the market always means a stop at the floral section for me. I don't always buy flowers, but I definitely look.

Just about any flower looks good to me, but one either with lots of petals, like the ranunculus, or lots of tiny flowers on each stem, like wax flowers, would be my first choice.

I also tend to love the pink or peachy flowers.

Once I get home, after putting my groceries away, I head straight back to my studio to start putting together still life. As you can see by the images to the right, I shoot several using basically the same props, with a little variation.

I do try to change things up a little by adding in some different props, shooting at different angles and by using a different preset for editing.

Have you been to the market lately? Maybe it's time for a new bunch of flowers in your home ... either to capture in some beautiful images, or just to sit on your table and enjoy.
