Night Flowers

Posted 7 November 2008 in by Catriona

The frangipani in the back garden—the yellowy-white one—is finally beginning to flower more heavily.

I took a series of photographs at about 10.30 p.m. from the back verandah with the zoom—because all the flowers are still quite high on the plant—and with the flash enabled.

I’d love to try and take some photographs that show the softness of the flowers in low light, but I’d need a proper tripod; my hands are too unsteady to take photographs in low-light conditions, when the shutter needs to remain open for longer, without having some way to steady the camera.

Have I mentioned recently that I love the zoom function on this camera?

Thank you! I love photographing flowers in general, but frangipani photograph very prettily—when they blossom far enough down on the tree.
