provides some wonderful photo ops...camera was set on macro and B/W mode --it had just rained so I was thrilled to get the beautiful water droplets... they were mostly my focus--the beautiful flowers were a bonus.

they're a bit blurry ( I unsharp masked and adjusted the levels) they were handheld at 1/20th at about 7pm... I think they turned out well

How can you be so steady? I'm impressed! I love the second one... the water drops add a beautiful effect. Nice work! :)

These are really great Natalie. I especially like the first two.

NIce idea to put these in b&w. They look pretty sharp to me, and I like the tight compositions. Good work.

I like the middle one best.

Hope your neighbors don't catch you snoopin in their backyard!

Probably shouldn't get this one going! hehehehehe

You hear things, okay?

I wanted to do the second phrase, but I couldn't figure out how to type it. :D

do-dum-do-dum-do-dum-da-da-do-dum
(cue second instrument)
then it's:

Okay, okay, I yield :)

A reliable source :p

(don't run away. Please.)

Oh. My. God.


That is all.

These are pretty Natalie... your neighbors yard does seem to provide good photo opps... *smile* Is this a case of "the grass is always greener on the other side"?
I agree with everyone else... black and white was a good way to go and for hand holding them they turned out fairly sharp.

Hi Nat,

These are great! My favorite is the succulent (#2), and I agree that b/w has added a nice distinction to the photos. Good work!

should be a good indication of my results. I was laying on the ground(sidewalk) and trying to brace the camera as best as I could......

I couldn't find where I put my tripod so couldn't pass up the opportunity....

I was a bit lost too.... :D

thanks penny.

It's not showing the color!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These are flowers for crying out loud, so you KNOW they've got to be in color!

:-O

Hehehe

Great shots Nat!

There is a reason I carry a gun when I go into the woods!

The neighbors yard is always nicer....

Very nice work, Nat. I really like the light on the third one. I think the B/W choice was a good one.

I freaked out when I read your title---I thought something was wrong lol

EVERYONE does flowers in color--- try it you'll like it.

You notice more of the details than you would if you were just shooting for the color.

:p

Be very afraid.

um...

something that it's not ;)

Yours are better, Nata.

I think the middle one is becoming my fast favorite

I liked to look at textures and color would have detracted from the drops IMHO
Glad you enjoyed them :)

without BW it would be hard to appreciate the colors--- it was a service of sorts I pwas trying to perform :rolleyes: ;)

What ever gives you that idea? :-O

Didn't mean to freak you out. Just having some fun. ;-)

You are right - EVERYONE does flowers in color, so the B&W was a nice change.

BTW, keep that "you're not well" thing to yourself. I don't want anyone else to know!
