Rhodies in the Evening Light

Sometimes I’m home at just the right time to catch the evening light on the rhododendrons outside my front door.  I wish I could take credit for them being there, but they came with the house when I bought it 16 years ago.

Different Colors / Different Evenings.

Get Your Camera Settings Right!

You can sing that title to the tune of  Born to Be Wild.

I have been so frustrated the last 2 days because my photos were just not turning out the way I had hoped they would.  Now, I get that sometimes I’ll take 20 shots and be happy with just 1 or 2, but yesterday nothing seemed to work!  Finally, in frustration I looked at my settings.

Yep!  I had the color setting to add extra red to my shots.

How? Why? When?

Who Knows!!

Can you tell which one was on the wrong setting?

I couldn’t 🙂

I’m open to  any suggestions to improve macro shots (I don’t have an SLR)

Focus on Dogwood Blooms

The day started with the sun shining brightly, but the wind made it feel so cold.  As the hours went by, the chores were completed,  the temperature warmed, and the chance to focus on photography finally happened!
