While Christmas is right around the corner, I wanted to take a moment and think back to the summer. I have been looking through my images from the last year, and came across this image that I hadn’t shared before. It is a flower I shot at our friend’s Laura and Rob’s house in New London. I really liked the nice contrast of the yellow against the green background. It is a very warm image. Today, when I was walking outside during lunch time, the weather felt really warm, almost like a nice spring day. I guess that is why I was really liking this image today. Anyway, enjoy the image, and hopefully, it won’t be too long until I get to shoot them again!

Today’s image is a shot I took for a flower photography workshop I am taking. I decided to take it because I really love flower photography and I think it will let me explore my creative side a bit more. I found out about the workshop through a person I follow on the Tasra365 project named Michelle. I saw some of her work on there and really liked it, so I wanted to learn more. This was week number one. I am hoping to get a great group of flower images together through this class.

Today we were at our friends house and I noticed these cool little purple flowers starting to pop up. They think that the flowers are the Crocus Flower. I am not really sure, but they are kind of cool looking. this was an all natural light image. The sky was very overcast, and made the lighting great! I am fining that I really enjoy creating images of flowers. Never thought I would like it, but when you get right down on the ground and look at them from an angle you have never seen before, I find the fascinating!
Today I read page 18 in the Canon 40D manual.
