snow outside my window while I am looking at more of last year's flower pictures
#bloomScrolling #begonia #orange

closeup of a variegated orange begonia flower on a short stem, leaves removed, standing in a small dark grey glass vase on a wooden background, seen in warm artificial indoor light making the overall tone of the whole photo very warm and yellowish
a similar view as in the previous picture, but the vase has been turned, and the photo focuses on a different part of the flower
again the vase has been turned, with the main flower taking up more of the picture space now than in the previous images. it is lit brightly on the left side but the right is in shadow.

same begonia as in previous pic, now in early morning light
#photography #bloomScrolling #begonia #orange

closeup of a small stem of orange begonia flowers, without any green leaves, standing in a slender dark grey glass vase in front of a dark background, with seemingly only the flowers hit by soft light coming from the left side, dramatically illuminating the biggest of the three flowers. almost as if it was glowing from the inside.
this one zooms in even closer to the biggest of the three begonia flowers. it is overall quite dark, but some light hits the flower from behind and to the left. the flower takes up almost all of the picture space.

#photography #noFilter #bloomScrolling #orange

a landscape-format closeup of a single leafless begonia stem with two orange-yellow flowers on it standing in a small dark grey glass jar, hit by very soft, and not a lot of morning light coming from the left, in front of a dark background
the same begonia stem in the same vase, but turned a bit so as to focus on the bigger of the two flowers, which now takes up most of the picture space. the image is in portrait format and quite dark overall, with the light parts concentrated in the petals of the flower
a view similar to the previous image, but zoomed out a bit and lighter overall, so that the whole of the vase and the begonia stem are visible, and the wooden board they are standing on and white wall behind can be made out
