One photo a day challenge: Day 228. New flower day. Part I dunno at this point. The new flowers keep multiplying. I have no idea how that happened. But I still love having an ever changing selection of flowers to photograph. It is quite gloomy and overcast today. So I thought I would focus on the brightest of the newly arriving flowers. I trained my lens on this bright yellow False Sunflower…. Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 225. I have always been interested in unusual looking flowers. My goal is to photograph flowers that look different than what is commonly seen. I have seen these flowers in the past. But I have never pulled the trigger on buying one. I just wasn’t sure I enjoyed the look of them enough. I wasn’t sure I could create interesting photographs of them. This time when… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 224. Ok. Back to the plan for today. Getting back on track with photographing the newly acquired flowers today. The plant I photographed today is a really cool Sedum that was flowering at the nursery when I decided to buy it. This particular plant is the Thundercloud, Stonecrop variety. I really like these types of plants because they have these thicker stockier stems. They feel like… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 222. In my previous post I mentioned I picked up some new flowers to use as photogrpahy subjects. So over the next few days I will try to focus on one of those new flowers as the days subject. I was drawn to this plant because of its vine like branching structure and the clusters of small pink flowers at the ends of the branching stems.

One photo a day challenge: Day 221. I have really been enjoying photographing flowers this year. But I have photographed all the flowers we have at home multiple times at this point. I really wanted some new subjects to photograph without having to travel. The other day while we were out I made it a point to stop at local plant nursery to buy new flowers. Specifically flowers I did not already… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 215. Todays photographs are from our flowers out on our back deck. The flowers grow wonderfully in our large flower pots on our railing. I love the bold colors. I also really like the composition. One flower up front and in clear focus. Another flower in the next layer. Just a bit out of focus. And then there is another flower in the back layer completely… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 213. More rain here in upstate, New York. At least I didn’t get it during my race. It does make for beautiful photographs after the storm passes though. I love the water droplets reflecting the light in combination with the brightly lit yellow flowers.

One photo a day challenge: Day 211. Today I went outside to photograph flowers from our selection of flowers we have planted in pots at our house. My plan was to just focus on one specific flower. I have always likes these strawflowers. I don’t think I have photographed them in a little while. So I turned mu attention to them. One pot particularly was growing well and had several blooms. Photographing… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 206. One of the best things about having a variety of interests both in and out of photography is the variety it puts in life and art. One day I am trying to train my lens on people running through the woods at high speeds. The next day I am photographing subjects that can’t move even if they wanted to. Today’s photography subject was back to… Read More
