Some more flowers to show you. I didn’t use the macro lens on these and the wind was still present. I would have been better off using a tripod but I didn’t want to carry it around with me.
I really like Tulips (Tulipa) even though they are hard to photograph. You have to get right on top of them to actually photograph them. One of the rules I was taught when shooting flowers is to shoot from an angle that most people would not normally see the flower from.
A couple of weeks ago I told you about the public beta version of Photoshop CS6 that is available for download. I’m anxious to have the final version released. I didn’t take the time to install all my plug-ins so it’s kind of a pain to jump back and forth between CS5 and CS6.
I already know that I’m going to upgrade to CS6 so I’m ready to move on and get it installed. The content aware features found in CS6 is enough for me but there is so much more. I would recommend you download and play with it while it is still free.
I like this last image even though some of it is very much out of focus. I like it that it shows a group of three and it is the three stages of development of the tulip.
Well that’s it for today. I’m fresh out of flowers so I’ll have to find something else for you the rest of the week. I’m kind of running into a mental or creative block. Okay it’s probably a mental block. I can’t seem to find what it is I want to shoot next. I don’t want to keep repeating the same thing over and over.
I mean I still turn the car around when I see some Canadian Geese but I’ve got a thousand images of them. So if you have some thoughts I could use some inspiration. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your Tuesday and be careful.
