Spikes

So.. Just got back from two weeks of holiday in Hawaii.. Oh yes! In a weird way I always find myself drawn to these spikey flower things you see in tropical places. So artistic and symmetric in an asymmetric way. 

Spring time

Spring has arrived here in Copenhagen.. Green, light and warm. Now all I need is a little love.. 

Kinda abstract

I don't like editing my photos too much - they always turn out too far from reality. However with this one I went all the way. High saturation, softness and cloned.. The original is from the orchid house in the botanical garden in Copenhagen. A plain red flower bud turning techno. 

Which version do you prefer?

Orchids on the windowsill

In summer I spend most days in my rose garden enjoying the colorful flowers unfold themselves and spread their sweet scent of summer. In winter while the roses are asleep my orchids get the attention. 11 of them are blooming these days. These pictures are of my Cymbidium and Dendrobium. 

Australian flowers

I don't know much about flowers. These may not be Australian native flowers but they are all found in Australia in various gardens, parks and zoos. Flowers are perfect models. 

I prefer using a narrow dof when I shoot pictures of flowers. Gives them a more romantic look, I think. f/ 1.4 - 2.0
