bowtie` Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Went out yesterday evening and this morning for some early season bloom color shots... First image: 100mm, all natural light Second image: 100mm, all natural light Third Image: 100mm, blend of natural light and strobe. The setting sun was about 20 degrees off-axis (extreme backlighting). The strobe was handheld between 70 and 80 degrees off-axis. It gave the *leaves* and the top of the blooms some more even illumination. The strobe also helped with taking some of the red and orange out of the setting sun. Now if I could only get the amount of strobe more consistantly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowtie` Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 awesome!!! We dont have any color here yet. Maybe after todays warmth. Thanks. It is mostly just daffodils that are up here. But it is warm enough that people are taking hot-house blooms out to the graveyards. The 80's of yesterday were nice but as usual for this time of year with the way above temps comes way above winds. Hence the need to go out and take shots at sunrise and sunset when the wind is at it's relative calmest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozarkwx Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I've been keeping up with taking photographs of the unfolding colors of wild (non-cultivated) flowers, etc. These are some of the shots from this week. Wild Garlic One of many daisy families in the area. Wild Iris with what appears to be an incoming bee. A "meadow flower" amongst the pennyroyal and other flowers in an area where the ground is about 4" thick over a shelf rock area that is the site of a couple springs. The pennyroyal smell is overpowering in the area. Some form of clover Wild Rose at sunset (the best bushes are always the ones you don't have to buy, lol) A waxing moon appears over an oak tree at sunset just as the fog gathers after a late day shower. .
