More Flower Abstracts (Macros)






These are more abstracts of flowers obtained by working at very close distances and thereby cropping away most of the more familiar aspects of common spring garden flowers. In all cases the are show is about 2 cm wide (3/4 inch for our American friends). All were taken using a special closeup lense - Raynox DCR250 (for those with a technical interest) in front of the camera lense.

The first is a closeup of what my mother called a "paper white", a type of narcissus.

The second is part of the crown of an unopened yellow-red bicolour tulip.

The third is a daffodil.

The fourth is a grape hyacinth.
