Three orchids in three vases
The Holiday Open House at Trudy’s Floral Design in Seattle was so much fun yesterday. I met all kinds of really nice people, signed some books, and of course amused myself with photographing some of the beautiful displays. What a great party. If you missed it you must come next year.
One lovely woman said I inspired her because I created the Flowers book with only my pocket camera, not a lot of fancy equipment. That’s a pet peeve of mine, the idea that you must have super-expensive, complicated (and heavy!) equipment to get great photos. Just not true. If you are interested in learning more about my simple approach to photography, please download the “7 Secrets” pdf to the right in the sidebar. And then please write and tell me if it helped you.
If you have a moment, visit Pink Saturday, Shadow Shot Sunday, SOOC Sunday (straight out of the camera), Watery Wednesday, Weekend Reflections, Today’s Flowers, Weekend Flowers, Macro Friday, Macro Monday, and Macro Flowers Saturday. It’s loads of fun to see the talent of people around the planet. If the photo of orchids in the vases is the only one here, click on Sara’s Fave Photos for more. Thanks for visiting!
absolutely lovely! happy pink saturday. xo
I love that vase stand, so pretty! perfect match for the lovely flowers.
Wow this is beautiful!

Très intéressant ! Le reflet déforme les vases …
[google translate: Very interesting! The reflection distorts the vases …]
Beautiful, both the orchids and the vases!
Happy Pink Saturday Sara Sweetie…
What a beautiful share today. I love these orchids in their vases, all in a row. Such beauty in a bottle. The green and pinks together are so breathtakingly beautiful.
I am alwas looking for a little extra help with my photography as well. I will take a peek at your pdf and see if I can’t find some new tips as well. Thank you for sharing sweet friend. Have a glorious weekend. Country hugs and much love, Sherry
Very pretty!
Would you mind visiting my PINK please? Thanks!
These are beautiful!
I played too. Mine is here.
These orchids are gorgeous and what a fancy setup. Looks really great.
Not that you don’t need an expensive camera but you can’t take a macro shot with a DSRL, except with very expensive lenses, and much headaches with the settings.
I’m going to download now your secrets, I’m very curious.
Thanks for sharing.
what gorgeous flowers and their shadows …..
So lovely, Sara.
And I just downloaded your 7 secrets and already I feel more confident about photographing flowers. (Now that I have none in my yard, of course.)
Thank you so much for your simple but very helpful hints.

Great color match and light reflections.
Wonderful photo of these orchids. The vase is so unique. I will have to download your PDF as I have a Canon Power Shot Point/Shoot type camera.
