Delighting in Our World
Ah, the serenity…Beautiful!
Yes, no question about it, ethereal.
Thank you!
sue that is just so lovely! there is a purity to it I love! and, I have to ask, tho I’m sure I can’t do it anyway! HOW, do you get the background to be White? is there a filter that lightens it? Silly question, I know. Thanks 🙂
White damask tablecloth or sheet hung in front of the window, sunlight streaming through…and some small adjustments in post-processing….no artificial light or filters!
wow!! amazing. how cool is that! and it Sounds Easy too.
Sue, Thank You!
I have seen white backgrounds and kept wondering how it was done. Now I know.
I could try this, and I will… but, somehow I think it may not be all that simple 🙂
Do you use your camera on automatic settings, or manual??
never auto. but usually AV so I just choose the fstop I want. I would …guess, you use manual. 🙂
Bang to rights!
whew! 🙂
😀
By coincidence, I bought Julie some white tulips, and they are looking nice on the kitchen window ledge, as I type. A lovely soft image, Sue. I can sense the texture of those petals.
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks, Pete, I’m getting better at this ‘isolating my subject’ lark!
Ahh, makes me look forward even more to spring.

Well, yes, but a few cut flowers will have to suffice for now – although we do have daffodils a Nd snowdrops far too early at present, and it’s getting colder ,..
Lovely Sue!
Thanks, Jane!
Love tulips as you already know, and this treatment is gorgeous. Great perspective too. One of your best, though I still remember the peonies.
But this is a departure from the norm – they aren’t a study of decay!! Glad you like it, and I agree it is possibly one of my best floral images…. The peonies were wonderful to work with, but I don’t have a garden anymore….
Definitely has a dreamy quality to it 🙂
Thanks, Sarah…that was the plan!
Really simply stunning Sue.. and yes agree there is a purity. So gorgeous!
Thank you, Robyn, for your words! I was very pleased that this worked as I ‘saw’ it….
It really did Sue 😀 Love it when that happens!
Indeed!
Ethereal definitely, lovely as can be.
Thank you, Gilly! A bit of a departure from decaying flowers!
Sue, this photo is stunning. I like the way you used the tones of the overlapping leaves to create the outline and form of the tulip. You have become quite the Lightworker.

Many thanks, Allan, for your great comment….I think I am developing my skills constantly!
It shows, Sue. Stay the course.

Oh, I will!
simple things can be very beautiful and you really have a talent to photograph them.
Thank you, Mitza!
Is elegance your middle name? Or mistress of composition? This image stays in the mind as a place to go for serenity.
Oh gosh, elegance most certainly not! Would have made my mother laugh…. Glad you like this, Meg, I am very pleased with it, and I agree re serenity
Beautiful and serene!
Thank you, Janaline!
A dreamy promise of spring and the delights to come.
Nicely put, Pauline!
