One photo a day challenge: Day 277. Quite a rain soaked day here in my neck of the woods. It rained almost all day. Consistently rainy. Quite heavy rains at times. It rained so hard that even the flowers under the porch roof were speckled with rain drops. Fortunately for me this creates a nice little opportunity for some macro photography. Working the light and shallow depth of field to isolate a… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 272. I love planting perennials that will return year after year for us to enjoy and for our wildlife to enjoy. This perennial is currently growing in a pot until I transplant it to a safe place in our yard. Many perennials only bloom for a relatively short period of time over the course of the year. But this flower has been blooming long and strong… Read More

Yet another rainy day here in upstate, New York. But as I have said over and over, that means I am blessed with the opportunity to photograph more flowers with water droplets. Today For many of the shots I actually took a few flower pots off the porch and set them out in the rain. It was still raining and I didn’t want to go out in the rain. And some of… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 250. The sun had set on another day. But, it wasn’t dark out yet. Time to create some images. I was hoping to photograph some of our flowers. That is, if there was still enough light. The goal was to photograph the flowers without artificial light tonight. Using my Nikon 60mm macro lens. The f stop was set as wide as possible. Still a little too… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 249. Flowers have so many aspects that make them beautiful and interesting. The petals of a flower often play an important role in this. I really like flowers whose petals have an irregular look to them. Petals that seem to be randomly distributed. Even more interesting is when a flower has petals that are arranged in a more even and regular pattern, but there is an… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 239. When you are literally taking photos every day you use up battery power. Sometimes faster than one might think. I knew my main camera battery was going to need to be charged soon. Turns out soon meant tonight. I went outside tonight to take my daily photos. And the battery was dead., No problem I thought. This is why I have two camera bodies. I… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 236. Feed Dogs. Run 3 miles. Eat Dinner. Now it is time for my daily photography challenge. It is dark outside now. Time to get out the artificial lighting. Thank you Lume Cube. Today I wanted to focus on a brightly colored flower against a dark background. This Yellow Hollyhock was just perfect for the job. I like this close up view of the petals. The… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 233. I really enjoy working with water as part of the subject matter. It’s possible to photograph the same thing over and over and the photo is never quite the same because the water always changes. Flowers after a rainstorm are a great example of that. I have photographed the same flowers repeatedly this year. But after every downpour the pattern of water droplets on the… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 232. I headed outside to photograph some of the nature surrounding our house. I figured I would end up focusing on flowers. As I began photographing I didn’t really have a plan. Photographing a few flowers here and there randomly. Walking around the yard to see what was growing. What was nature up to. Flowers in bloom. And there were a bunch of caterpillars on our… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 230. Plants are quite amazing. Flower specifically are astounding. They grow in an incomprehensible array of shapes and sizes. Flowers take on all types of structures and forms. Flower colors touch every possible shade and hue of the visible light spectrum. If you can imagine it there is probably a flower that exists like it. I am kind of at a loss for words to describe… Read More
