| There are some blackeyed susans down by the creek.... |
 |
| As I prepared to photograph them, I suddenly had some help from Huey |
 |
| I tried a back lit shot up close... |
 |
| Then, a different set up.... |
 |
| I wanted a blurrier background..... |
 |
| And of course, the last one I took is my favorite! I love blackeyed susans...the simple wildflowers that blooms along our roads here in the South in the summer. I had been wanting to photograph some before they went away. So, I stopped several places along the highway (risking getting run over by a log truck!). I wasn't able to get what I wanted, so I drove on home. And then I spotted some flowers right along the creek that winds through our land, so I picked some and took them to the house. I moved them around outside, trying different effects, etc, (and with a lot of interference from a certain four-legged friend). I finally liked the very last one I took...isn't is always either the very first one, or the very last?! Hope you are enjoying a simple and beautiful summer where you are. sheltongail@hotmail.com |
