Smartphone Photography - Flower to the People #3

in #smartphonephotography7 years ago (edited)

Hello Steemians!

This week's installment of Flower to the People features blue Hydrangea!

Hydrangea! One of my all-time favorite flowers! I rarely buy them because they are expensive and can wilt pretty quickly! However, since it's my 26th wedding anniversary on Monday, I thought to treat my husband and myself to a lovely bouquet of the flowers we had at our wedding. Well, at one of our weddings as we married in NYC and again in Tehran and then yet again in the North of Iran in a town called Gonbad, where my husband's parents are from originally. That's a total of three wedding folks! It was fun but dizzying! In any case, I placed them at the window as they seamed happiest there! And I thought they looked grand in a blue jug. What do you think?

You work wonders with your smartphone. Beautiful. Best wishes for your anniversary!

Awww many thx my dear! x2

@ilanaakoundi,
Can you please teach me how to take that kind of photography? I am crazy with this photography of yours. I don't know how to make such light effects! This is amazing!

Cheers~

Smiles, my dear friend! You are very kind! I studied Fine Arts in school, which I think helps a lot with composition and light but I also think a determined person such as yourself will create the art you like to see. I always appreciate you sweet comments. Thanks for stopping by!
Cheers! :D

Lovely.. I used to have these flowers in my garden when I was a kid.. Should try growing them again when I'm back home..

Oh my! Sounds so pretty! Indeed, you should! Thank you my dear!

Beautiful flowers in your great shot! First shot is the best!

Thank you very much! :D

Ahhh more flowers 💙💐 I love your flower work, they always look so delicate. Must have been nostalgic looking at these beauties, definitely gives a room atmosphere! resteemed 💙

Smiles! I'm crazy for flowers! And I'm thrilled you like my floral pics! So cool! Yes, they brought me back and I get to look at them in my window which is mighty nice! Wow! A very big thank you for the upvote and resteem! :*

My mother is the same! She has so many flowers in the house however she tends to get the already potted ones as she gets upset about fresh ones withering too fast. However they give such a nice smell in the room <3 Thank you for the upvotes as well <3 <3 <3 hope you have a good day!

I love that first shot with the framing of the window.

Thank you very much! :D

So beautiful , I can see that you have a love for flowers . I actually bought a “Money plant” 8 years back and it’s still growing :) it feels nice to watch somehong grow as you age

Hehe a money plant! I'll have to look into this! I do love flowers tho! It's my weekly treat! Thank you my dear, always nice to see you! x

There's something so timeless and feminine about these flowers. I love them.

Oh I agree! One thinks Virginia Woolf or E.M. Forster. And they dry so beautifully too! Thank you!

Wow! Good hands to capture a really nice picture! Good job

Thank youuuuuu kindly! :D

Lovely photos as usual! See, you're on your way to being a wedding photographer already, you've got bouquet shots sorted ;)

Heheeee! I think I'll leave that to the excellent professionals, you and Verity! What a team! But...if you ever need an assistant in NYC! I'm your man! Thank you! Lovely to see you!

Haha will make sure we give you a call if we end up shooting some high end wedding over there!

Sounds fun!

Happy early anniversary to you guys!! Hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers too - so beautiful!! :) I have a hydrangea I planted in my yard that I named Bob and I look forward to his blooms every spring for my home, heheheh!
