It is the south light, not the east, though. But even so it’s generally a soft light on overcast days, and we get a lot of them. These are potted tulips and they are much smaller than the garden variety but perfect for the table. All shots taken with the D80 (since the 600 is in for a repair) and macro lens. The very close up shots had an 25mm extension tube added. I like to shoot flowers but the opportunity rarely presents itself this time of year so I was glad to receive these tulips.

The water got the drop on them . . . it adds a nice extra dimension to the shots.
Thanks,E. And it helps to keep them fresh. They love it!
Lovely and so beautiful!
Thanks, Malin.
Very nice Ken – perfect light for subject.
Thanks, ehpem. It started snowing when I was doing this project but I was nice and warm inside. Makes all the difference.
These are wonderful shots, Ken. Great light and color, plus, the water droplets really add a nice detail.
Thanks, Jimi. I admit when I water the flowers I water the whole flower.
Very nice collection, Ken. Im especially fond of the colors in #3092.
Thanks, Tom. I tried to be somewhat accurate to the actual color of the flowers and on my monitor they look true. I’m not sure how everyone else sees them but for photos like this it isn’t all that important.
The water droplets are superb, Ken. Spring is nigh – definitely.
Thanks, Andy. I shot these with and without the droplets, because I wasn’t sure which would be better.
Great shots Ken and I love the little drops of water on the flower. Beautiful!
Thanks, Chantal.
I love tulips! These are delicious images, Ken.
Thanks, Draw. I love them, too.
Beautiful images – all of them. So fresh, vibrant, and colourful. How lovely to have these indoors to cheer when outside looks uninteresting.
Thanks, Meanderer. We are entering a time of year that is not very attractive. Fortunately, it only lasts for a short while.
Love this set
Thanks, serial. It’s always a pleasure to shoot flowers.
