The middle of spring can see the garden as a riot of colour, shape and textures, because the growing season is in full swing. It’s also rich pickings for photographers, with some of the most evocative and interesting subjects right on our doorstep. From the structural shapes of architectural plants to the brilliant and vibrant colours of bee-attractors, there can almost be too much to shoot!
Try to simplify what’s in front of you, considering backgrounds and interesting colour combinations. Whether you choose to shoot detail with a macro lens or single out prize specimens with a telephoto, the power of flowers can breathe some rich and rewarding life into your photography.
