Peony Double Tulips in Black and White I tried something new last week — photographing flowers on a lightbox. This was one of my favorites from the session. The color of the tulips was beautiful but the leaves went a little too yellow-green for me. Instead of adjusting the color in Photoshop I decided to convert it to a black and white image. I always love seeing the lines and forms of flowers when the color is removed. This image will find its way into my Fine Art America gallery: https://dianna-paulk.pixels.com/ (Link in profile) #upgradeyourwalls #peonydoubletulip #fineartphotography

Shamrocks The symbol of Ireland. It brings to mind the upcoming St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. “We celebrate St. Patrick’s Day on March 17th to honor the death of Ireland’s patron saint, St. Patrick, who brought Christianity to the island in the 5th century, using symbols like the shamrock to explain the Trinity and driving out snakes (legend says). What began as a religious feast day for Irish Christians has evolved into a global celebration of Irish culture, marked by parades, green attire, music, and festivities for Irish people and admirers worldwide.” (Google AI) This image, along with several options for Irish blessings, is available on cards in my Etsy Shop. For a set of 6 or 12 cards the direct link is here: https://diannapaulkprints.etsy.com/listing/1673584960/st-patricks-day-stationery-note-cards. And here’s the link to a single card: https://diannapaulkprints.etsy.com/listing/1687751911/st-patricks-day-stationery-note-card-one. As Instagram doesn’t support direct links there is a link to my Etsy shop in my profile. #stpatricksday #dontforgettowrite #sendalittlelovetoday

Spring Blossoms I was glad I took my camera with me on my morning walk when I came across this little tree full of white blossoms. My husband said it is probably a wild pear or plum tree that will not bear edible fruit. I am always amazed at what I can capture through a Lensbaby without use of filters or textures. Canon 5D Mark III, Lensbaby Composer Pro + Stacked Macro Converter (8mm + 16mm) + Sweet 50, f/2, ISO 100, shutter speed varies, backlit with morning light. #shootextraordinary #seeinanewway #macrophotography @lensbabyusa

Macro Project 52: Before/After This week’s prompt really made me think hard! How could I show before and after in one frame? I was still thinking about this while photographing some flowers I’d purchased from Trader Joe’s when this little image jumped out at me. The perfect before and after. Before and after the blooms open. Canon 5D Mark III, Lensbaby Velvet 56, f/4, ISO 1250, 1/125 s. #2026 macroproject52 #shootextraordinary #hyacinths @lensbabyusa

Red Buds - Signs of spring in central Alabama In a Lensbaby presentation yesterday by Gerri Jones (@gerri.gjones) she told us to go photograph trees. I decided to take her advice and photograph the red buds that are in full bloom. I also decided to pull out my least-used Lensbaby, the Edge 50, and give it a whirl. I got so excited when I looked in the back of the camera and saw these beautiful images. You can see the light getting more “golden” as the sun was setting. It was a wonderful ending to a wonderful day spent celebrating my birthday with my wonderful family. Canon 5D Mark III, Lensbaby Composer Pro with the Edge 50, f/3.2, ISO and shutter speed varied with the time of day and location. Backlighting for all images. #shootextraordinary #redbuds #seeinanewway @lensbabyusa

Enjoy creation. Worship the Creator Floral Abstract I am having so much fun photographing the cut flowers I picked up at Trader Joe’s when passing through Birmingham. It’s going to take me quite a while to cull and edit them. This is one of my favorites so far because of the beautiful colors and shallow depth of field. Canon 5D Mark III, Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM @ f/2.8, 1/100 s, ISO 1250, natural window light. Texture added in Photoshop. #abstractflorals #floralphotography #macrophotography
