Flowers in a Flash

[Greenhorn]

I was taking pictures later in the evening and then it started to get dark. Thought I would try some flash pictures of some flowers in my flower bed.

Your camera has not let you down as some flash pictures do not come out the way the subjects are.

Very nice photos! I love how the honeysuckle is taking over the chair.

All your flowers are beautiful, and the flash worked very well to bring those beauties out.

And flowers don't blink when the flash happens

Very nice photos! I love how the honeysuckle is taking over the chair.

That is a goal. It's taking 2 years for the honeysuckle to really start growing, but it finally has. I plan to put some other objects large and small in the horizontal path of the growth. I've even though a small old time shipping box - crate, pillars or posts and Buddha statue... and go for the Indiana Jones theme.

All your flowers look really lovely. I like the Bachelor Button. I've never seen it in person, but I'm sure it would be a perfect addition to my indoor garden

You must have as very nice camera! The shots look so clear, clear considering you used flash and it was so dark Amazing photos, loved your varied and colored collection of bloomers

Great night time shots Greenhorn. Incredible detail and I love the Bachelor Buttons. Don't know them so another to add to my list to hunt down.
My friend gave me some honey suckle after I'd told her I'd seen it on this forum. I've put some cuttings straight into the garden, some in a jar of water in the kitchen and some dunked in rooting powder and then into propagating soil. Hope some take as I'm looking forward to enjoying the scent. I have several places I want to put it but first priority is growing up the railing of my deck where I love to sit. I'll obviously have to be patient though, Greenhorn, if you're saying yours has taken a couple of years to establish.
