When you have got a digital camera it is very cheap to take pictures. In fact it costs you nearly nothing. That's good because you can take hundreds of pictures without worrying for the costs, and just keep a few of them.

When we take pictures we try to make the best out of the situation. We see friends in a nice or interesting situation and we snap some pictures. We visit different places and we take pictures of what we find interesting or fun, and we take pictures to have something we can show our family and friends when we come back from the visit. Nowadays more and more take pictures to put them online to make them visible to the whole world or at least to their selected friends and their family.

On vacation the pictures will be a sum of our memories to keep for decades to make the vacation even more valuable for us. You meet new people and conserve the memories on the digital files.

Some people develop a keen eye in seeing the opportunity for a picture and become good photographers by catching that special moment that will be a true pearl of their collection of photography. This is a very good talent and some of the most celebrated photographers in the world have had that ability to catch the special moment, in some cases to catch an action in a split-second of time.

On the other hand some of the best pictures aren't just been snapped, they have been created by the photographer. Here are some ideas for creating your own super-shots.

Put things together to create a picture

Let's say that you are having a wonderful meal and want to take a picture of the meal. The food is delicious, the decoration at the table looks terrific and you are together with a nice person. In such a situation you will often get the most interesting picture by taking the picture vertical. Organise some food in the foreground, make sure that a limited part of the table decoration is in sight and place your nice company in the picture. To make all this happen you just need a few minutes to take a look of the possibilities at the table and to make sure everything is in your frame of your picture. If you have to use the flash of the camera you might get the trouble that the foreground becomes very light and your nice person behind becomes too dark. With a white tablecloth this problem might even be exaggerated. To avoid the problem reduce the distance between the foreground and the person behind.

Include a colourful foreground when taking a picture of a place

Just one single colour added the right place in a picture might make it much more outstanding. Are you taking pictures in a garden there might be many colourful flowers. But without having one of the flowers in the foreground the picture might look very banal. You might have the option to move a pot or jar with a colourful flower in front to include it in the picture. Don't place this flower in the centre of the picture frame but arrange it to the left in such a way that it is around 1/3 in the picture from the left. That will often add substantial appeal to the final picture. Many artefacts can be used with a similar effect in other situations.

Let people do something

When you take pictures of friends and family let them do something. When people are active the picture will be more interesting to see. Many pictures of friends show the friends shouting hallo or drinking or showing faces. That isn't what I mean with letting people do something. No, let people do something more unique to each person. Let them do something related to their work or hobby or other special interest. A trick could be to let them dress themselves in a special way, With a little practise you might be able to create really outstanding and interesting pictures, you will be happy with yourself and improve your esteem as a photographer among your friends.

These small tricks are useful whatever kind of apparatus you are taking picture with. Are you taking your pictures with a mobile phone you will still be able to improve your pictures by making use of the above photo tips. As you start giving your picture taking more attention you will see the potential of starting creating pictures and not just taking pictures.

When it comes to flowers, Weddings are one of the largest events. More flowers are used on a single wedding day than any other day of the year. Weddings are big occasions for everyone involved; from the bride all the way down to the caterer - and the flowers are no exception. The flowers are an important part of the wedding. Without the flowers a wedding would be a very drab affair. The flowers add decoration to the wedding location, but they also give the wedding energy and life.

Many times the flowers of a wedding are made up from the favorite blooms of the bride-to-be along with other flowers for the color of the bloom, which will fit in with the dress colors chosen by the bride-to-be. The flowers and the colors of the wedding theme will go hand in hand. It has been said that many look at the wedding flower arrangements online, but most never buy their wedding flower arrangement from the web.

Many brides-to-be don't really have a clue as to the type of arrangement or how they want their bouquet arranged, so they must look at pictures. Because weddings take so much time to plan, and in almost all parts of the planning the bride-to-be must be present, so it stands to reason the bride-to-be does not have a lot of free time when the wedding is in the planning stages.

In order for them to have some ideas regarding the wedding arrangements, the bride needs to look at pictures. Her options there would be to visit the florist and look at the pictures they have in books, or they can look on the web. The web can be accessed at all hours of the day or night. Many smaller florists close by 5 or 6pm and don't open again until 9 or 10am the following day. The bride-to-be will find it easier to find time to look on the web. She will be able to look at the pictures several times before making her final decision. She can then print out the pictures to take to the local florist or to give to her wedding planner.

It is unclear why more brides-to-be don't order their wedding flowers online. Maybe they are not aware of how an FTD florist works. Maybe she believes the UPS or the FedEx driver will be the ones who will deliver her wedding arrangements to the chapel. However, if she lives in the Burlington, Ontario area of Canada, the florist on the web she is looking at could also be the local florist she chooses for her wedding arrangements. Brant Florist in Ontario has an extensive web site, which includes wedding arrangement as well as a location close by in Burlington.

Following a period of strikingly matched wedding flowers, modern brides have began incorporating the concept of more variety. As more members of the bridal party wear more individualized attire, so the trend has followed with specific blooms to coordinate. Thus, the newest trend in wedding flowers varies their design in favor of a mixed, not matched, feeling.

But how how do you pull off the trend without your bridal flowers looking less than dazzling? Place your faith in your florist or wedding consultant to help guide you through the selection process. The key is to keep one aspect of all floral pieces -- bouquets, centerpieces, boutonnieres, etc. -- uniform with one central element. Your unifying element could be a color, texture, shape, or specific type of flower. Then you can start building variety by adding an assortment of different flowers, colors, or accents (bows, ribbons, embellishments).

For inspiration, look through home and style magazines with party tables capes. Notice that all the serving pieces, utensils, glasses, plates, flowers, and fabrics may not be the same. But they do have one unifying key element that harmonizes with everything else. Bookmark the styles you like and show copies to your wedding planner and florist. They will key in to your preferred mix-not-match style, and help you incorporate it into dazzling wedding flowers. Also show your team pictures of what you do not like. The more clues provided to your team about your personal style, the more the likelihood for a successful floral concept for your wedding.

Here are my top four tips for exquisite mix-not-match wedding flowers:

1. Choose the bulk of your flowers (if not all) from blooms that will be in season. If your key unifying element is delayed or unavailable, your whole theme could be affected. By picking flowers that are in season, there won't be any mad scrambling for replacements at the last minute. This is especially crucial in smaller markets, where vendors can be less eager to fly in out of season blooms from other countries.
2. Too much variety can spoil the effect. If all the bridal bouquet flowers are different, keep hand tied ribbons the same. If all boutonniere flowers are different, keep the same ribbons or greenery (or vice versa). Work with your florist and wedding consultant to find the unifying element in each aspect of your wedding flower selections.
3. Take clues from your wedding party apparel. If your bridesmaids are all wearing the same color (all aqua, all yellow, or all pink), play with multicolored bouquets or hand tied ribbons. If they are wearing different colored pastels (one in green, one in blue, one in pink, etc.), keep the bouquet flowers in a monochromatic color palette for a unifying element. Then kick up the variety with different accent flowers (no more than 20% of the bouquet), hand tied ribbons, or jewel embellishments.
4. Contrast is your friend, not your foe. Contrast can be a very useful element. If too many items (backdrops, linens, dresses, flowers, etc.) are the same color or saturation, they cannot be individually appreciated. This is especially important to consider if you will be photographing your wedding in black and white. Without contrast, your pictures will appear dull and flat. With contrast, your photographs will showcase depth and detail.

When you take pictures, patterns can be used very effectively in making your shots much more interesting. This article will show you how to use them favorably.

Patterns are everywhere. They are all over the place in the room I'm tying in right now and I can guarantee that they're all over the place where you're at as well.

Using these patterns in your photos is really quite simple. Simply point your camera and take the picture. Of course, it is not as simple as that, but you get what I mean.

When you find a really good pattern, ask yourself what the best possible way could be to capture that pattern. For example, if you see hundreds of flowers that make a noticeable pattern, how would you capture it? Would you go from eye level, would you try to get high to have an overhead shot? Brainstorm how these different perspectives will have an effect on the pattern and maybe even sketch a quick visual in your mind of how it will look.

Lines

Patterns a lot of the time have lines and shapes in them. These shapes and lines usually can be used as leading lines to lead to a specific point of interest. I once took a picture with a bunch of flowers that formed a pattern. I arranged the shot so the flowers lead to a large rock and made it look as if the flowers were all praising a rock.

Using Patterns to Show Uniqueness

You can also use patterns to show the uniqueness of a particular object. For example, a picture of hundreds of black cars with one white truck in the middle will immediately draw interest towards the white truck.

Using silk flowers for your wedding is one idea that you will be glad that you went with. Thought of as a social faux pas in the past, silk flowers are now becoming the choice of many brides not just those worried about cost. Many brides are choosing to use silk flowers in their weddings because it cuts back on the stress and worry before the final days. This is especially true if you are doing your flowers yourself.

When you are thinking of silk flowers on your wedding day, do not think of the ratty flowers at the dollar stores with the misshapen petals or the thread coming undone. Think about high quality silk flowers that truly mimic the look of fresh flowers. These silk flowers have been put together with the care and the study of the real flower to make them look as realistic as possible. Silk wedding flowers give you the beauty of flowers on your wedding day without the fuss.

Where to Find Quality Silk Flowers

The DIYers already know that one of the best places to find beautiful silk flowers is at your local craft or hobby story. Because there are those who dabble in flower arranging, these stores offer a variety of flowers. Some stores even offer classes on arranging flowers or have someone who can make custom arrangements for you. Also, if you are like me, you want to feel and touch the flowers to actually see the quality of what you are getting. You can study them to see how well they can go with your look.

Your local florist is another place where you can get beautiful silk wedding flowers. Many people may want arrangements done for a number of events or their personal space where they don't want the flowers to die in a few days. Because the florist has the best connections and the expertise on flower arrangements, they are a great resource in finding fabulous silk flowers for your wedding day.

Last but not least is the internet. The internet has many sites that not only offer silks, but packages with them arranged as well. You can get the flowers you want arranged at quite a reasonable price. Silk wedding flowers can even be found on eBay. However, always make sure you find a reputable company that has a reputation of providing quality service. Many sites do show pictures of their arrangements and offer testimonials. If this does not assure you, buy a test bouquet to see if the quality is what you are looking for.

The Advantages of Silk Wedding Flowers

1. They can be done in advance. Although real flowers are very beautiful and breathtaking, they must be done right before the wedding in order to not wilt. If you are a bride on a budget and taking this task on yourself, you may find yourself overwhelmed and stressed during a time that should be fun and relaxing. With silk arrangements, you can arrange them ahead of time which can reduce the stress of the last few days leading up to your wedding. On the day of your wedding, they will still be even more beautiful than the day you bought them.

2. Submerged, they look real. One of the big trends in weddings now is the submerged flower. What is so good about this trend is that you can submerge a silk flower in water and no one will be able to tell if it is real or not. If the flower is submerged in water, all people will see is a beautiful arrangement. No one will actually put their hand in the water to see if the flower is real. Also, being that you need less flowers when doing submerged or floating centerpieces, this saves on money.

3. Allergies are not aggravated. You, your hubby to be, or any of your guests may have certain allergies when it comes to flowers. To avoid the inevitable sneezing, runny noses, or red eyes, silk wedding flowers are a great way to have that floral beauty and happy guests. This is also a plus if you are having an outdoor wedding and are afraid of attracting insects.

4. Life-lasting keepsake. The fabulous thing about using silk flowers for your wedding is that you can have a keepsake. You can bring a centerpiece home as well as your bouquet and save on floral preservation costs. They can become a decoration for your home and a reminder of the start of your married life.

5. Great as favors. Many of your guests may fall in love with the wedding centerpieces that you have on the tables. A great favor would be to send the centerpieces home with those flower-loving guests. Your guests get great arrangements to beautify their space as well as a reminder of your wedding day.

6. Sturdy flowers. Because real flowers are more delicate, cold or heat can cause them to wilt quickly. If you are having an outdoor ceremony, the flowers may not be able to stand the heat. What if you forget to put them in water to keep them looking fresh? Well, with silks, this is not a problem. They don't need water and can stand any weather conditions.

7. Less expensive. Now this is always argued because quality silk flowers can cost as much as live ones. This is true; however, if you need a particular flower in December that can only be found in France, the cost can rise. You can use silk flowers instead and have incredible savings. Also, when submerging flowers, because you generally use less, you can use silks instead of the real ones which can run cheaper. You can also save money with silks by checking out sales on the internet and in stores.

How to Spice Up Your Silk Wedding Flowers

If you are using silk flowers for your wedding day, there are many ways that you can spice them up to make them even more unique which gives a personal touch to your day.

Scent. We love the smell of real flowers, so how can we replicate a fragrant smell with silks. Spraying the perfume of your choice on the flowers is a great way. This way, the flowers have a wonderful smell that can add spice to your reception. Although, you want to make sure the smell is something that will not aggravate guests. I would suggest a real clean, light scent.

Jewels. Instead of having a plain bouquet of flowers, add jewels to liven it up. You can get crystals glued to the petals of the flowers. This adds more pizzazz and personality to an already beautiful arrangement. Plus, you don't have to worry about damaging the flowers because they are sturdy enough to be handled.

Feathers. Feathers can add flavor to any floral arrangement. Adding feathers to a silk bridal bouquet gives an extra flair that makes it stand out. Beautiful peacock feathers in a silk centerpiece arrangement helps add a certain level of exquisiteness.

How to Care for Silks

Although one of the advantages of silk flowers is that they need little tending and care, here are a few tips to make sure your silk flowers for your wedding day are in perfect condition.

• To clean silk flowers you can wash them or clean them by hand, but this is not the most recommended way because it can become a bit messy and time consuming.

• A great way to keep silks looking their best is to use an ozone safe aerosol spray. This can keep them looking clean and fresh.

• If any of the greenery is wrinkled, you can steam iron the leaves. Just make sure the temperature is on the lowest steam setting. Test a corner before steaming out the wrinkles.

• Many stores that carry silk flowers also carry silk flower cleaners that can keep silk flowers looking great.

Taking pictures of flowers may seem easy but it is a little more complex. Flowers can seem to be that subject in photography where anybody can take good pictures of simply because of how the flowers look.

First off, there are many different types of flowers around. Some are really easy to be taken pictures of and can result in really fantastic images. Other flowers can be very difficult to get good pictures of. And there are even some flowers that are really looking un photo worthy but result in great shots.

There are some different ways you can take pictures of these flowers. Close up shots of them can work very great since these shots will give you very fine details of the object. Generally the smaller the flower the closer you should get. You'll see details that you probably didn't even know were there. Some other types of flower are better when shot from a little bit of distance. Very recognizable flowers are good to shoot from a little distance since many people already know how they look.

When picking what type of flower that you want to take pictures of you should always go for the ones that you like the best. This will be a great start.

Do not treat all of these objects like the same. Some flowers are better photographed one way and some are better shot another. All of these species are very different having different size, colors, shapes, etc. Take your picture taking these traits into account. You will find from taking shots of flowers that some look better taken one way and some a different way.

When taking shots of your flower be sure to have your photo be not complicated. A simple shot can look very good. For example, rather than take a picture with five flowers in it isolate one single flower. It'll most likely look much better.

A good way to make your pictures better is to pay close attention to the flowers shape and color. Try to compose your flower before taking the picture. When taking shots of flowers be creative.

A quick guide to planning your wedding flowers
You've set the special day, and there is so much to do to get ready. The excitement is consuming you to the point that you just want to burst, and there are so many preparations that you barely know where to start! So just relax for a minute, take a deep breath, and read this quick and easy guide to help reduce stress and help ensure a picture-perfect day with these easy tips from design professionals.

First Things First

One of the first things you need to do in planning your wedding is to select the dresses. You can call your florist up to a year in advance, but you usually won't need to meet with him or her until you know what you and your bridesmaids will be wearing. The bride and bridesmaids gowns will be the key to the wedding, and everything will need to revolve around them.

Once you've selected the gowns, get a few pictures to bring in. Next, pick up two or three of the top bridal magazines, and look through them. Clip pictures of any floral presentations that particularly appeal to you. These will help your floral consultant understand the styles, colors, and flower types you like best and design something that will fit your tastes.

Choosing a Wedding Florist

Before calling florists, ask friends and relatives if they have any recommendations. The best wedding florists typically do lots of weddings. So, it's likely you know people who have used their services or seen their work. Then, call or visit a few of the best florists. Confirm that they serve the locations where your ceremony and reception will be held, and inquire about setting up a consultation. You may also want to ask if they have pictures of their work. Quality wedding florists are seasoned professionals who will guide you through the process and help you select what's right for you. The important thing is to get to know your floral designer, discuss options, look at specific flowers and colors together, and make sure you're comfortable. This is your special day, so you need to make sure you have someone experienced, reliable, and creative to help you plan your special day.

Timing

If possible, you should have the dresses picked out and a meeting scheduled with your florist about six months prior to the wedding. Remember, you don't want another bridal party or parties to beat you to your florist of choice for a particular date, so earlier is better. If you have an indecisive personality or just want moral support, bring a mother or bridesmaid along for input. Two heads are sometimes better than one, but avoid having too many cooks spoil the soup.

Meeting with Your Florist

Wedding flowers can be anywhere from a few hundred dollars for an intimate nuptial to tens of thousands of dollars for an impressive ceremony and reception. A lot depends on the location, number of guests, and how you want your wedding to be remembered. Be upfront with your florist about your wishes and your approximate budget. Show the designer your pictures of the dresses or fabric swatches and any magazine photos that you like. Ask about color variations, as well as which flowers will be in season and consequently the best value. You should also consider the vitality of the flowers, so that you will have great looking pieces that won't fade over the course of the day. Listen to your florist's suggestions. If you did your research and picked a good one, he or she will know from experience how to bring your desires to reality.

Enhancing Your Special Day

When considering wedding flowers the key elements are the bridal bouquet, selections for the bridal party and parents, decorations for the church or ceremony, and centerpieces for the reception. Consider table coverings woven completely of flowers for the guest card table, and discuss ways you might use some pieces at both the ceremony and reception. Many florists will even provide the transportation services. To make the celebration extra special, you may want to consider small accent pieces for doorways, pews, cake, alter, and even the car. Single flowers placed at each table setting are an exquisite touch, and encouraging guests to take home the centerpieces will make your wedding especially memorable. Many florists can also provide plants, votive candles, candelabra, linens, and other decorations, often on a rental basis to save you money.

Anything Is Possible

No matter what you see in magazines or at other ceremonies, remember that almost anything is possible when it comes to wedding flowers. The two wedding flower designers interviewed for this article are both good examples. One is an expert on Hindu weddings, creating gorgeous canopies of flowers under which the couple is married, and the other has incorporated feathers, twigs, candles, and even street signs into his designs. But more importantly, both have mastered the art of working with each bride to create something special just for her. So, whether you're looking for traditional or contemporary, lavish or understated, your qualified, professional florist is there to make that day go perfect. After all, you only get married once.

There are many reasons to send flowers to someone. Sympathy, apologizing to someone, showing someone you love them or are interested in them and celebrating various holidays are just a few of the reasons to send flowers. Regardless of why you are sending flowers, for most occasions flowers are very appropriate. If you are sending flowers to a special someone, they will be the object of envy since you were thoughtful enough to think of them.

It is easier than ever today to send flowers for any occasion. There are a multitude of online sites dedicated to sending flowers, candy and small gifts for whatever reason you have in mind. There are of course, still the traditional ways of sending flowers. Actually driving to a florist, picking out what you want to send and then paying for it is a fairly simple process. One advantage to actually going to a florist is that you can have the florist help you choose something and you may even be able to see an example of whatever arrangement you choose to send. With online florists, the pictures all look remarkable, but since these orders are usually sent to local florists in the area where you want the flowers delivered, you do not know exactly what will be delivered to the recipient. Whether you order them at a florist or online there are usually delivery charges for every order in addition to the price you pay for the arrangement.

Probably the most popular day to send flowers is Valentine's Day. This is a good fallback position to take for men. If you are not sure of what to get a woman for her birthday or Valentine's Day, flowers are a good choice anytime. Women usually love flowers and the typical flower sent for Valentine's Day is the rose. Roses are a good flower to send if you are unsure of what type to send, mostly because women usually will love roses. One of the only downsides to roses is the price; they are usually fairly expensive. Carnations are also a good flower to choose and usually much cheaper than roses. Carnations, like roses, come in many colors. With carnations, sometimes you will see flowers with colors on the tips of the petals. This is achieved by putting the stem of the flower into water colored with food dye. The flower sucks the water up through the stem and the result is uniquely colored petals. Carnations also last a lot longer than most other flowers. If you keep them in water they will last a couple of weeks, where roses usually start wilting and dying by the end of the week. In addition to flowers, most florists can send balloons, chocolates, stuffed animals and even small gifts such as jewelry along with the arrangement.

Most women appreciate flowers. To remember a specific meaningful date with flowers makes your loved ones appreciate you even more. So, whether you purchase flowers online or from a local florist, whether you choose roses or carnations, go ahead and send flowers for just about any occasion. There are not many occasions that flowers are not suitable for.

Choosing wedding flowers is such an important part of the wedding. There are some things to be aware of when you are ready to decide on your wedding flowers.

Since your flowers are an essential part of the wedding you should begin by preparing a budget. When you have a budget in place you will have a very good idea what the flowers are going to cost. If you don’t have a budget you could easily end up spending far more money than you had planned.

If you haven’t already decided on a florist you may want to ask the advice of family and friends. Pay close attention to the recommendations of those who have recently been married. The newly married will be able to offer you good advice. You can also talk to the people who are in charge of the ceremony and reception sites. These folks often have great ideas for the best florists.

You may want to make a few visits to the florists that you are considering. When you are actually in the business you will see how the customers are treated and if the shop is clean and organized. Take a good look at the flower bouquets and arrangements and notice the design and freshness of the flowers.

Figure out how many arrangements, bouquets, boutonnieres and corsages that you will need. Take this information with you any time you talk to a florist about the wedding flowers.

Before you decide on your wedding flowers, talk to more than one florist. You might want to bring pictures of bouquets and arrangements that you like. Also bring pictures of your dress and the bridesmaid’s dresses. All these things will be instrumental in assuring the most beautiful wedding flowers possible.

Make sure you have samples of the colors you plan to use in the wedding. This will be very helpful in choosing the colors of the flowers.
You might want to ask the florist for some photos of wedding flowers they have designed. Many florists keep a book of wedding flower photos exactly for this purpose.

Talk to your florist about using flowers that match the style of your wedding. If you are having a casual wedding you may want to use different flowers than if you are planning a traditional wedding.

You also might want to consider using wedding flowers that are specific to your region and to the season in which you are getting married. This will not only keep the cost down but you will not have to worry about the flowers being available.

Choose your wedding flowers carefully and they will be a wonderful part of your wedding.
