William Johnson Inspired Flower Photos

Kristine: I must confess most of William's article was beyond me. I will go back...I will go back.  Wonderful examples of William;s suggestions.

Very nice, indeed!  The last one is my favorite...love the coloring.  Thanks for sharing your wonderful photos with us Kristine.

Kristine, flower photos always captivate me on all levels & these were a sight to behold as many of my fall flowers are blooming away...

These are beautiful.  You are a great listener, and importantly a wonderul implementer.  Nice job.

Kristine....Great photos as always...you do such a great job! Nice of you to mention William in your post. I definitely need to upgrade my camera....when I crop I lose a lot of clarity....Thanks for the tips!

Have a great day!---Rob

Good Morning Kristine, William has been an inspiration to me from the very first day I joined AR.  So are you though!  My eye always drills down to "parts" of the subject but I've never thought to drill down to part of a subject like your first photo.  Too bad I need to go check out a property this a.m., otherwise...I'd be hunting flowers, lol.

Good morning, Kristine. Cropping is an effect long used in the photo industry to create intrigue. Good to see that you discovered this "hidden" mystery of photography...

Very nice! I will have to read his post. Like most people I get stuck on the panorama shots.

Kristine, I also read Williams post. What you have done is really nice. Thanks for sharing.

Kristine, sometimes cropping can transform a photograph into a work of art. I think the first photograph in this post achieved that goal perfectly.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful photographs.  I might need to revisit some of my flower photographs for major editing.

  Life is better when there are flowers to photograph.

I like how you cropped/took only half of the flower in your picture that is on the top.  Makes the picture pop!

Kristine - Yes indeed Bill sure knows his stuff. Love his posts as well as yours. Nice job on these beautiful flowers.... Cropping can do wonderful things to our pictures...

What amazing pictures, Kris!  I am doing a 'photo shoot' tomorrow night in a Cemetery.  Any pointers? :))) 

Kristine - This post proves the value of our association with one another.  There is so much to be learned when the collective tribal knowledge is so great!  That top photo of your's provides a unique perspective.  It is artful that just half the blossom is visible. . .But of course we already know the other half is there:-)  As usual, your photographs are among the best.

Hi Kristine,  I agree with you the post of Williams that you referred to was very educational. 

That first picture that you posted was stunning!  Wow.  It is amazing how great a different, unexpected perspective can look.  

Hello Kristine and I love "William's" photographs and posts at AR, VB has been following his for a 4 years at AR and ...

Your photos & post has been featured at one of my favorite groups at AR ...

Hello, precious.  When I was searching out localism events, one of the things that I came across was this nightime photo tour of the Cemetery.  I had just done my post on our amazing cemetery when I saw that they were doing this, and thought it would be a great follow up.  Gonna check out Picnik today, and got some pointers last night from a local photographer with whom I had the pleasure of spending some time.  Still feel so blessed when I think of yours and my conversation.
