i love, LOVE, LOVE taking photos of flowers from behind (gosh, that sounds dirty, do you think the flowers think i’ve got a dirty mind?!). most of the time, when the green part of the bud opens to allow the blossom to emerge, it resembles a flower. i also like to photograph furry stems–because when backlit, they look as though they have a halo of light that surrounds them…a bit magical i think.

I love finding a new way to see something old. Light moves over everything & sometimes i’d find something too hot (overexposed) to attempt to shoot, so i just went behind it AND wow! Have fun, Rajiv! ~amy

Looking at flowers in different ways, at different times a day can make a huge difference when shooting them. Thank you, Rajiv! ~amy

The flowers say no to the dirty mind. But you may be fascinated by their erotic imagery.

My flowers love when my hands get dirty. I am fascinated by their imagery. although, i wouldn’t call it erotic. i call it stunning. i need glasses to see 12″ away clearly, so i don’t wear them very much b/c i notice too much & i go into overload. but when i do wear them, i seem to notice everything…although it is more of a response in my chest that tells me to take the photo. Thanks for the comment. ~amy

LOVE IT! Especially those fuzzy little hairs show of perfectly and the petals are showing as well a whole other side with those intricate veins running on them! Perfection from “behind”.

This truly is spectacular. sometimes the best photos do come from these happy accidents and you have such a wonderful eye to see them and capture them. My husband is amused when he sees me now holding a flower or leaf up to the sun or other light and looking back through it. But he does concede it is a beautiful and different view.
