This is not a daisy, but an Erigeron Karvinskianus. The flower is as big as a daisy, but it is actually a plant of about 30 cm high with small, fine leaves and with a lot of these flowers. The Erigeron blooms in the Netherlands from May to October and is a nice plant for the border. I use it a lot, especially in small gardens because of the long flowering period. If you don't have it in your garden yet, and you can buy it somewhere, you should definitely give it a try. #flowers #bloomscrolling #flower #fleurs #bloemen #gardening #garden #gardensofpixelfed #gardens #pixelfed #blumen #macro #macrophotography #macro-perfection #macroflowers #photography
Midday Sun ☀
I usually try to avoid photographing during the midday Sun as it creates harsh shadows and brings out new challenges. But this time, I embraced it! When you position yourself against the Sun, the light reflects through the petals, and gorgeous background bokeh is created through this process ✨

Purple Crocus Dream 🌸💜

Amidst a sea of crocuses, this delicate purple bloom stands tall, catching the soft light of the early spring day. The blend of purple and white petals creates such a calming and magical atmosphere, nature’s way of bringing color back to the world.⁠

I love capturing these beautiful crocus fields as they bloom in the crocus garden. Composing the purple crocuses with orange crocus in the back created this dreamy combination of complementary colors ✨

Spring Snowflakes Embraced by Gold 🌸☀️

These spring snowflakes, kissed by the sun and glistening with refreshing droplets, stand out beautifully against a golden backdrop. The soft light embraces the tiny blooms, adding a warm glow to their delicate petals, while the freshness of the gentle droplets and the golden hues make the scene feel peaceful and full of life. ✨

I've isolated the flowers on this dreamy, soft background using focus bracketing built into my camera and combining the photos through post-processing. Have you tried focus-stacking your macro photos? 🤍

Golden Petals in the Sun 🌼✨

These vibrant yellow crocuses are a beautiful sight, bathed in the soft light of early spring. Their petals open wide, soaking up the sun's warmth and standing out beautifully against the soft bokeh background.⁠

I love how the crocus blooms never fail to bring such a bright, cheerful energy to the garden. Can you feel the warmth in the air as these flowers start to shine? 🌿🌞

Springtime Magic of Golden Hour ☀

We're turning our clocks an hour forward this night, which means the evenings will be brighter now and the Sun will set later. I'm so happy about this change; it feels much more like Summer already! Another bonus is later golden hours without needing to hurry going out right as work ends 😄

These golden hour snowdrop photographs were taken exactly in this scenario - as work ended, I hurried out to catch the last of the golden hour. With no time to spare, I managed to get the gorgeous golden orb bokeh in the background of these spring photographs 🥰

Which of these two photos is your favorite? I couldn't decide!

Golden Crocus Glow 🌼✨

This is one of my favorite captures from the crocus garden visit. A lone crocus standing out among a sea of golden blooms with its delicate petals reaching for the sky. The soft light and the vibrant yellow tones create a dreamy atmosphere, making this early spring flower feel like a little burst of sunshine. ☀

The crocus always brings such joy to my flower photography sessions—do you have a favorite flower that symbolizes the arrival of spring for you? 🌿💛

A Touch of Freshness in Every Petal 🌞💧

This vibrant winter aconite, glistening with morning dew - surrounded by a sea of yellow, captures the essence of new life emerging, full of promise💛

The delicate droplets on each flower add a refreshing touch, and I love how these simple details enhance the beauty of the blooms. The warmth ahead feels just within reach 🌸

Blue Dream 💙

A gorgeous blue anemone from my crocus garden visit, beautifully isolated between other flowers, embraced by dreamy light ✨ Many other flowers grow in the crocus garden besides just crocuses, such as cyclamens, snowdrops, winter aconites, and these gorgeous anemones. It's my favorite Springtime visit for photographing beautiful flower macros 🥰

Do you have a favorite location to visit for flower photography too?

A Droplet of Hope 💧

The white snowdrop, kissed by morning dew, is a beautiful symbol of new beginnings. Its delicate petals gently bow, while the soft glow of light gives the whole scene a magical feel ✨

Such a peaceful moment perfectly captures nature’s quiet beauty’s first steps toward spring 🌸

Last week, I captured the stunning beauty of crocus flowers, their soft petals glistering in the Sun. I got closer and photographed the small details of pollen in the heart of this crocus - they look like little orange pearls ✨
