Capturing the beauty of plants/flowers is something I am obsessed with. If I see a pretty blossom then I will definitely take a picture. No doubt about it.

You notice something on a photos, especially if they are close up, that you wouldn't necessarily see. The textures and colours of the flowers become much more bolder and vibrant, with the details of the petal showing. How shading and light changes the tone of the colour and the way the petals are formed and shaped.

Also by taking the picture then and there, you see the flower in full bloom or dying/blooming, so tells a story. On the above and below photos, you can see a bee and raindrops on the flower's petals. It gives the image something more, instead of it just being a flower.

You can always take a photo and crop the photo to focus in more on the flower itself.
Don't panic and keep calm and still when taking the photos. This really applies every time you want to take a picture.
Tips on taking flower photos:
- A good quality camera!
It is fine if you take them on your phone but a camera is so much better. It most likely be of better quality and focus depending on the camera you use. - Just go out!
All weather is good weather when it comes to photography, especially with flowers/tress etc. Go out when it is raining, sunny, snowing, cloudy! By doing this, you can create much more of an impact with the picture if it has snow/rain/hail on the petals and the on the ground. It makes for a much more interesting photo - Different angles, different shots!
By taking a photo above, to the side, below the flower, you create different perspectives. One can focus on the petal and the centre of the flower head, another can be from the stem looking up at the bottom of the head. It makes a more visual experience, instead of a straight on shot. - Take multiply photographs
Like the previous tip, take photos of different angles but take a few. Some may turn out better than others. If you take one and it is blur, out of focus etc then you only have that one. If you take more, you can pick out the best one out of the collection.
