Weekend Photo Focus: All About The Flowers

Flowers are around us everyday and have been the subject of many a photographer, budding and professional. While many may regard flowers as an overused and cliché, it can be a great subject to practice your new skills on, and also to practice how your skills have developed and matured in your increasing experience of photography.  It is this view of flowers being an “easy” subject that makes it so hard to produce an impressive image – use your creativity and think out of the box to create unusual and atypical photographs of flowers like the ones below.

Each Friday we will post a Weekend Photo Focus (also hash tagged on Twitter as #weekendphotofocus) on a certain subject; something to spark your creativity. An empty weekend for a photographer is like an empty canvas – we could always use something to do when we have nothing planned, right?

The premise is simple; snap some photographs over the weekend dealing with the weekend’s focus, and if you send them to us (or Tweet them to us) we will post them up in the follow-up article. Having a focus will help us as artists and photographers to see things that we might not always see, and make us take a shot at something we might otherwise have not.

At the weekends close, we will follow up our weekend focus,  with what we found on the Web, and your submissions, that fall in line with our focus. We hope you join in the fun and help us spread the creativity.
