Flowers Simplified

I may have mentioned before that I'm part of a Google+ group for weekly black and white photography assignments. A few weeks ago we had a plants and flowers assignment. I picked a few individual buds from neighborhood plants and tried a low-key take on the project. Pollen was a problem, but the overall effect worked well.


For this shot, I illuminated the trumpet with my cell phone's flash light. That gave the flower a bit of luminescence that works well.





For this, I made the yellows dark and green lighter. That resulted in the pollen grains standing out on the leaf and flower petals.


A simple, single sprig.


Flower inside flower.
