I got this bouquet of tulips as a gift the day before Easter, on Holy Saturday, from my fiancé's sister. I was really happy about it, because I had never received tulips as a gift before. Especially since half of them had such an unusual shape, with fringed petals, like someone had taken scissors to classic tulips and made little edges on them.
I immediately picked a suitable vase. And I used a few tricks I had remembered from Instagrsm reels. To make tulips last longer, you should remove the lower leaves, cut the stems straight across, poke a hole all the way through the stem with a toothpick right below the flower, and add just enough water to cover two or three fingers' height. The water should be changed every day. Andddd believe it or not, it worked, they looked fresh all the way until yesterday. Once they started to change, I began peeking inside them and taking close-up photos of the beauty they had been hiding within.
Voilà! This is what we got. I took the photos with my phone, a Samsung A56 and I have to admit I cropped them a little afterward and adjusted the contrast, exposure, sharpness and so on, just to get the best possible result. I hope I managed to do that. Some of them turned out so beautiful that I'm thinking of printing them and turning them into wall art. ☺️ Why not, they would fit in beautifully and brighten up any space.
Then I look at them and think like, welllll, maybe I really do have some talent for photography, at least when it comes to choosing a good frame, and that's something. Even though I'm too lazy to learn the basics, I love snapping photos of anything I like, cropping them, and making them look like something. Or maybe it's just some decent average editing skills, hihi. (:
Thanks for reading! Sending you all hugs and kisses! Have a nice day and even beter weekend! 🥰
