What a difference 48 hours make. Color has returned to 40N in Indiana.

First tulip opened up of the year. Of course, it was one of the red ones. Trying to not blow out the red can be frustrating. Did I succeed?

I actually like this not-quite opened bloom even better. The colors are more balanced and I think I managed to get this lit correctly with good backlighting and use of a white reflector in front.

I have tried for a long time to get one of these severe back-lit blooms to look tight and I might have come so awfully close. Also I am proud of the juggling act to physically get the image. I am juggling the black background, white reflector, the shutter release and shading the lens from the Sun to avoid lens flares. All this with only two hands and a lap. I really should get an assistant to make this easier on myself but where is the fun in that?

I love them also but even though the temps and amount of sunlight scream summer, the calendar still say 15 or 16 more day till the beginning of summer. :P

Most all of the iris blooms are gone here. Good news, the lillies are opening up.
