Reflections

Hello Everyone, here's an image taken from a recent trip to Longwood. One of the things I looked for when shooting the water lilies are reflections. To better promote the subject. Also simplicity, there is nothing that takes your eye away from the subject.

Hope you enjoy

Longwood #2

Another image from Longwood Gardens. I drifted away from the water lilies for a bit. I wasn't to happy with allot of the blossoms. Because of the direct sun and high temps. the blossoms were not very good. I did mess around with this group of cone flowers for a bit though

Hope you enjoy

Waterliley

Hello everyone, I met up with some friends at Longwood Gardens the other day. It was a good time catching up with some that I haven't seen in a while and meeting some new people. Here's my first image. I did alot of simple shots with a reflection this one seems to be one of my favorites.

Hope you enjoy

Gladiola

Hello everyone here's an image from some of the Gladiola's that are blooming in the backyard. I liked how all the pollen stems are standing together.

Red & Yellow

With these hot temperatures that we are having I spent most of this weekend trying to keep cool. I made a couple of floral arrangements from the flowers in the backyard and shot them inside. The first one I used a little buzz for a painting effect. Really makes the colors pop. The second one I set up for a long exposure. I moved my lens in and out of focus for a soft type of look.

Hope you enjoy
