Try a different angle when photographing flowers. Look up towards the sky. Makes ordinary sunflowers look just heavenly.

Photography can be as fun and rewarding of a hobby as gardening. Your flowers may fade, but photographs of them will last forever. Even though today's point and shoot cameras make it easy to take brilliant pictures, it's still the photographer, and not the camera, who makes the shot.
When taking pictures of flowers, try doing something unusual like taking a close up inside a flower bush. I love closeup pictures and it's almost like you can touch the flowers.
I love putting bold, contrasting colors together in my flower arrangements and then filling the photo with them using the closest angle I can get. The result in usually a burst of color that makes me smile every time I look at it.
