Plant Details

When you can’t find flowers, you can always find plant details that make fascinating macro studies. Plant details work for subjects throughout the year, in all seasons. In fact, these details can offer you some wonderful opportunities for photography even in winter.

Plant details are a great for exploring photography beyond the subject. Dead leaves, for example, aren’t necessarily interesting for the subject matter, but they will offer color, shapes, and textures to work with photographically. Indeed, color, shape, and texture are three key photographic elements that will help you find plant details that will make good photographs. Here’s how:

Look for color. Color can be such an interesting part of a close-up image. Look for bold colors that really stand out against their surroundings.
