Flower Study #1
I “cheated” and used my wife’s Maxxum for these pictures, with the built-in metering, because I didn’t want to do advanced math with some red filters, Acros film, and the Spotmatic.
In two days we’re off for a week in the Maine woods with Granddad, at which point this site will be on auto-pilot, running some Maine scenes from last year’s trip. I’m not sure what this year’s trip holds in store–on my “to do” list are Old Orchard Beach, the Gray Wildlife Park, and, of course, my annual lobster.




i love this! nature’s perfect mandala. to me flowers shot B&W are my favorite, as there is more emphasis is on shape, structure and patterns (mathematics have never been so beautiful!). have a wonderful holiday – looking forward to photos.
I love this shot, it looks great, and have a great trip!
Thanks very much! These black & white flower shots were a lot of fun–I’ve got a roll of color slide film of flowers in the hopper, but I really enjoyed playing with the shape and structure with black & white.
