Nighttime Flower Photography

I decided to take an evening stroll, but twilight was already upon me as I left home. I brought along an LED Mini Maglight flashlight primarily so I could make myself more visible to the occasional car on my back country dirt road. As I was walking along, I noticed a number of flowers in bloom, and decided to try my best to capture some of them using my flashlight in one hand for illumination while I awkwardly tried to hold my smartphone steady in the other. Apologies for the quality, or lack thereof, from my camera and lighting.

I hope there is some novelty in the technique and subject, though! As best I can tell, these are examples of mock orange, mariposa lily, wild rose, and honeysuckle. All are native to the inland northwest. Perhaps I can remember to take some pictures in daylight later on for comparison and more positive identification.

***Update:** I have a followup post now, and one of these at least has definitely been misidentified! I leave my error here, but [click this link for a better identification and daytime pictures!](https://peakd.com/hive-154065/@jacobtothe/daytime-flower-photography)*

RE: Nighttime Flower Photography

Hi @jacobtothe
Taking photos at night has a high degree of difficulty, especially in terms of lighting. You know, lighting is one of the most important elements in photography.

You're totally crazy for taking photos at night using only the light from your flashlight and it makes for some great photos. I mean the first photo.

I snapped about 35 shots and these 4 were the best of the lot. Not saying much, I know. Most were complete waste with motion blur and no focus.

Yes, everything requires great sacrifice. 
Moreover, you have to hold a flashlight in your hand, and your other hand must focus on your smartphone camera. Or are you scared because you're alone on a lonely street at night? lol

Your post lead me to do a bit of online research. Idaho's state flower is Syringa, which is sometimes called Mock Orange. A wild plant expert (who spoke at the local library recently) said it is often confused with Serviceberry. My reading taught me that Serviceberry (also called Juneberry) blooms in March or April and produces berries in June, while Mock Orange blooms May-July. So you are probably right in identifying that plant as Mock Orange.
