Last of the flowers for now, I promise. Though I did have fun shooting them, and I learned a few new methods for lighting them for different moods and looks. The Daffodils are on the way out now, and the Tulips and Poppies are just around the corner, so I can’t promise that some “other” types of flowers won’t show up here in the near future.
Shadows and Light
Something I’ve been wanting to experiment with for a little bit, but didn’t have a good subject in mind. It rained pretty heavily this morning and when I stepped out for the mail, I noticed that not only were the daffodils up, and spring-shower-fresh, but also that they would probably make a good test subject. The style needs some work, but it gives me a few ideas of what kind of results I can get out of it.
Where Eagles Dare
Taken at a nearby zoo, PP converted to Black & White. I have tried (unsuccessfully) to photograph this eagle in the past, this weekend it was just the right time of day for lighting and she was out enjoying the nice weather, so I finally got in a decent photo.
Also submitted to the “Wildlife Forever” calendar project over on Pixish.
