petals

A few weeks ago, I posted a few of my photos of flower petals. Abstract art. Just about every sunny day, I'm out taking more photos. I even took a few indoors, with a very bright light (the bright light makes them sparkle). I keep finding new angles on the subject.

I started with fresh petals, but tulip petals can be firm, and they make more interesting images when they fold on themselves. It makes shadows.



As the petals aged, they became more pliable, and were more likely to wrinkle and fold. So that was more interesting, but you have to watch for blemishes and spots, which can detract.



So I just kept going, as the petals faded. It turns out that tulip petals get very lined as they shrivel.
