I know my Valentine’s Day sunflowers have made several appearances in posts recently, but I couldn’t resist bringing together a gallery of shots I took the day we bought them — which co-incided with the delivery of my ring light flash.
Regular Random is a photo challenge hosted by Desley Jane at Musings of a Frequently Flying Scientist. Please pop over and take a look; and if you’d like to join in:
- choose a subject or a scene
- spend five minutes photographing it – no more!
- try to not interfere with the subject, instead see it from many angles, look through something at it, change the light that’s hitting it
- have fun!
- tag your post #regularrandom and ping back to Desley’s post.
This is beautiful 🌻

Sunflowers are very photogenic, especially when up close. So what is a ring light flash then?

😀 flash that circles the end of the lens. Really good for portraits and macro. The boychild decided I needed one for Xmas and I have to confess I’d never even heard of them 🤨

divine photos – and as I’m a great fan myself AND have several family members who are totally in getting as many of them as possible, I also did a large number of photo cards for their birthdays or just for giving them a bit of joy…. Yours are absolutely stunning!
