Flower Power

There is something about flowers that have a mystical power over me and my camera. They lure me in with their beauty and then compel me to take their picture. Today I was at the Botty resident and there in the front of their house there were beautiful lilies of different sizes and colors. With a wooden fence as a background they were irresistible. Here are a few of the photos I took today, which I am posting for the Botty family and others to enjoy! God's beautiful creation!!!

Flower Power

One of the cardinal rules of taking photos of flowers is NEVER shoot them in direct sunlight. You ALWAYS want to shoot in the shade where the light is more even. But my photo philosophy is that rules are meant to be broken. Sometimes shooting in direct sun light helps to bring out the color and majesty of the flower, if you shoot it at the right angle, where the sun is not too overpowering and washes out the image. Most of these images were shot today or this past week in direct sunlight. These are only a few of the several hundred photos of flowers I shot this past week. The colors right now are simply amazing. God knows how to brighten up out drab world. That is real flower power from above!
