One photo a day challenge: Day 253. I often set out to create photos with something in mind to photograph. But I am always hoping that something at least a little unexpected will happen. There are some things you can plan for and some things that you can’t. The best you can do is hope fore the opportunity to arise. Then you have to be prepared to take advantage of the situation….

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 248. I was out surveying the yard. Looking for photography subjects. Photographing various plant life. Using my macro lens. I eventually made a circuit of our back yard. I settled in to photograph the cluster of pink phlox that have been growing there for years now. I photographed different compositions of the phlox flowers growing there. Single blossoms and groups of flowers. Then I noticed this… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 247. I have been out exploring all week. So I have not been home to photograph my flowers growing at home. It is so fun to see that even after all season I still have flowers just blooming now. So now that I turn my focus back to the flowers at home I see a plant that is now finally come to its time of year… Read More
One phot a day challenge: Day 238. When you plant something in a pot early in the year and it finally blooms!!! To Everyone else this probably looks a lot like if not identical to the flowers I have posted before. But this is a totally new flower photo. I have posted photos of this plant previously, but it never had flowers before. It may have had tiny little buds, but they… 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 229. Today is a continuation of the recent theme for these posts. Focusing on the recent additions to our flower garden at home. These Osteo flowers are beautiful. They seem to change colors as they mature and blossom. I love the shallow depth of field. The small slice of the flower in the foreground that is completely in focus. Then there are three other flowers in… Read More
