Yellow Rose print available

The Fine Art PhotoBlog has recently launched, and I am working hard with the six other photographers there to help make it a big success. As well as providing visitors with stunning photography every day of the week, the site is a fantastic place to buy both art prints and collector quality signed prints of our work.

I hope you will forgive me if I use my blog to promote both the Fine Art PhotoBlog and the prints I sell there. I’m proud of my work, and I want to become successful as a professional photographer. As a part of that I will be linking to the Fine Art PhotoBlog once a week, when my new weekly photo is added to the site. This is just to remind visitors to this blog of the work I have available to purchase there, and to encourage you to visit and have a look at my and the other photographers’ work, even if you aren’t interested in purchasing prints.

This week I’ve gone against the trend of the photos so far seen on the PhotoBlog. Landscapes and urban scenes have been popular so far, and while my greatest interest probably lies in landscapes, I am also very fond of the closer perspective. I have taken many macro photos of flowers, and this is one the ones I like the most.

Long-time readers of this blog may remember this from a previous entry. It was actually taken in my first experiments with off-camera flash, a skill I have learned almost entirely from the wonderful tutorials at strobist.com. I’m a little surprised that a photo taken so early in the learning process is the one I have chosen to offer on the PhotoBlog, but it’s one that’s really stuck with me. The strong colour, cheerful mood and minimalist style really appeal to me.

As I discovered in my research for the description of the photo, yellow roses are given in friendship. Perhaps a beautiful signed print of one would be an even better, and more permanent gift! :)

If this photo isn’t to your taste, perhaps you’ll find another photo you like in my collection, or from one of the other photographers.
