Why Flower Photography:
With this equipment, you will be able to produce those startling close-up pictures which, when enlarged by projection on a screen, seem to magnify the original beauty of the flowers. And these are the pictures which your clients cannot duplicate with their own cameras. They are the shots which will establish you as a flower photography specialist. The other pictures you have occasion to shoot, those showing garden layouts and pleasant clumps and clusters and masses of flowering plants, will take care The best sources of customers for your flower photography are the garden clubs and the flower clubs in your community. If you don't know the flower clubs, get in touch with a florist for the information you need.There need be no question in your mind about the market for good flower photography. One of the big slide film distributors has found flower fanciers the most consistent buy ers of all among slide collectors, even though the pictures offered are strictly of specimen flowers. These cannot possibly have the same appeal as pictures of flowers grown by the buyer in his own soil. The only flower fancier who is not an eager prospect for pictures of his blooms is one who has never seen a color slide transparency of a beautiful flower projected. A close-up of a lovely flower on a screen is a sight to make anyone, flower lover or not, gasp at its beauty.
There are two reasons why flower photography is a bit difficult for the amateur gardener to do himself. The first is that, to be truly effective, flower pictures must be in color, which due to its short exposure latitude demands special care in lighting. Second, for fully exploiting the beauty of flowers a good many of the pictures should be extreme close-ups which require special equipment and careful calculation of exposure factors.
