I’m sharing some macro photos of flowers that I made with an iPhone 5 using Camera+ app, while being at the reception of my yoga school.
I hope you like them as much as I do. I used a black and white filter for each of the photos to present an additional option. Please tell me which one you like the best, and also if you like the composition.
I am joining Lens and Pens by Sally, who hosts each Monday the Phoneography and Non-SLR Digital Devices Photo Challenge.
The schedule theme for this week’s challenge is: Macro
That yoga school must be really awesome if they have such an atmosphere there!
It is indeed. From the instructors to the receptionists, every one is always friendly, relaxed and helpful. It must be heaven…lol.
I made the photos with the help of the receptionist, as I needed to move the vase of flowers and knell down…actually was quite funny as other people started helping too.
Hahaha!
Absolutely genial post!
Happy that you liked it. Thank you!
I prefer the b/w version for the first image as it is a little washed out at the edges and the b/w turns that into a creamier bokeh. For the other pictures, I like the colors very much and they highlight the structure of the petals very nicely.
Also, the last but one is like a Georgia O’Keeffe painting.
Thanks, Perelincolors. Wow, Georgia O’Keefe painting!
What gorgeous flowers! They are stunning. I hope you got to take them home 🙂
Actually they all look great in colour and in black and white. Those last two shots of the orange flower though are stunning in mono. Composition of those two especially enhances the capture. Super fresh and fabulous bouquet of images x.
I wish I could. But as I go there every day, I can enjoy them there.
Thank you so much for the comments. ️Xxx
They really are stunning. And really lovely photos. Did you do your homework? I’m making my way through the reader…
Thank you zillions! Yes I did tonight as I had a busy day. You’ll find it somewhere lost in translation! Lol
It’s getting hard to fit it in these days. And I have to actually apply some thought!! It’s not in my reader so I will open my computer and read it after I make more coffee x.
You’ll need a coffee! It’s long! Lol Shoot it please!!
Some days I need to. Ok am making toast as well….
Yum!
I love flowers in color! The pink flowers seem more delicate in color to me. And I love all the layers of the orange ones.
Thank you Tildy! Love your visits here. And your comments too.
These are simply beautiful. I love the colour shots. They are so feminine.
Thank you, Amy. The colors are stunning. I didn’t do any editing.
Lucile, you successfully show the flowers (I think peony.) with all their delicacy. Each composition shows the joyous design that gives pause for nature’s majesty. While I think that color suits them best, a few are as enticing in monochrome (5 and 6). Happy Photo Challenge.
Thank you so much Sally. I side with you that mother nature’s majesty is clearly present in the design. It never stops to amaze me.

The first photo I love the most I think, with the delicate color in the middle of the flower. I also like the petals in #2400, and the way they drape almost like a dress. I definitely like the color better than black and white.
Thank you for commenting, Angeline! Appreciated. And Im happy that you liked it.
Ohhh, such lovely detail and colors! Absolutely adore these photos.
Wow, thank you Britta!
You’re most welcome! 🙂
Beautiful! My favorites are the first pair and the third pair, both color and black and white, although the black and whites show off the contrast and subtle value changes nicely.
I particularly like the composition of the third pair; the way the petals fold in on themselves 🙂
Thank you so much Terry!
Such lovely close-ups, Lucile. My Android tends to whimp out when I get too close!!
I do love the colour shots, but in the second black and white, the flower looks so silky and delicate.
Thank you very much, gfchopstix.
I used an app instead of the camera of my iPhone. I’m it works with android as well. The name is camera plus, and there you can shoot macro too.
Thanks for the info – I’ll have a look at it 😀
Lucile, you captured some beautiful images of gorgeous flowers. I like the first set and of those two, I prefer the color. While the B&W shows off the shapes, the color is such a part of flowers that I find it almost always more appealing. That doesn’t take away from your composition, which is excellent.

Thank you so much for your thorough comment, Janet. Much appreciated.
Lucile
These are all stunning! I particularly like the bottom two–the orange is so beautiful but the same image in B&W looks incredible!
Hi Terri, thank you! I am happy you liked it.
I think I prefer the colour versions. Because they’re of flowers, they seem to have more vibrancy in colour. Beautiful shots, by the way. 🙂
Thank you so much, phoenixgrey85. Indeed, the vibrancy is better seen in color.
