Bouquet

As a photographer I'm always looking for interesting patterns of light and colors, silhouettes and shapes that will catch my eye to make a fantastic image. This morning as I was getting ready to photograph birds in the backyard I went to grab one of my portable backdrops leaning against the window seat.I almost picked it up when I realized. "Wow, what a cool looking silhouette was being cast upon it. I immediately grabbed my camera and put on a new lens to photograph this wonderful new found image. I tried several images both horizontal and vertical. This one was my favorite. I hope you enjoy it. God's love and blessings to all, chris

A Flora Kind of Day

We haven't been exactly blessed with much sunshine today here on the ridgetop. The sun has made a few feeble attempts to break through but it has been mostly fog and clouds with some drizzle for a gray day. A perfect time to play with flowers from a bouquet I gave Lenore for her birthday today. Happy Birthday Sweetie!

God's love and blessings to all,

Not What I Expected

I finally managed to set aside some time today to try and create a photo I've had in my mind. I'd like to create a flower poster with a bouquet of flowers in the center and around the edges have individual images of the flowers that make up the bouquet. The problem was that when I went to the local supermarket this morning all the flowers either looked pretty bad or they were way out of the budget I had in mind for this image. So I walked out of the store feeling well lackluster.
On my way home I stopped off at my Mom's house to help her with a minor computer problem. Lo and behold she gave me a single tulip to take home and give to Lenore.

So I set up a sweep and diffused a couple of studio lights and I photographed the tulip with six different backgrounds. I don't think I'm there yet as far as what I have in envisioned my mind. But, I'm getting there and that's all part of the journey. I hope your journies in life are going along as well.

God bless,
