Three Lilies

A trio of lilies on a warm, humid summer day in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Dried Tulip Blossom

I waited a bit too long to shoot this red tulip blossom. It sat on my desk and slowly dried out. And I have to say, I'm quite pleased about that. The texture and shapes of the petals in this photograph are much more interesting now than if I had shot the freshly cut flower. Happy accidents! The blossom was shot with one light slightly behind on the right at about 60 degrees from horizontal. 6 focus stacked HDR shots (3 bracketed images each). Processed in Lightroom, Photoshop, Topaz Glow and Impression, On1 Effects, and Nik Effects. Copyright 2017 Scott Norris Photography scottnorrisphotography.com
