(Almost) Wordless Wednesday: Tuesday Edition

For simply elegant foliage or flower photos such as this, try these techniques: Take your pictures in the shade, no direct sunlight, making sure to use a shallow depth of field. Focus on a single or small cluster separate from the rest of the plant or bouquet, and adjust the angle you are taking the photograph from to keep a darkish background, like more greenery or ground (as opposed to sky.) With enough separation between subject and background, your subject will stand out, well exposed, and the background will be out of focus and dark like shown above.
