This is my 2014 photo project. I am a Minnesota-based photographer. I have a preference in portraiture, and I also have of love of youth sports photography. I experiment in many other areas of photography. This Blog is about me trying different things. Much of my portrait work, sports photography, and some of the fine art prints I've done can be seen at www.photosfeaturingyou.com.

Day 136...Floral Fantasy
FLORAL FANTASY
Now that it's spring, and you can see flowers all around, I might as well take advantage, although I did say I'm not much of a flower photographer.
As is often the case, I set out with a different idea in mind. The Egrit was fishing at the pond, so I wandered over to sit quietly for a few minutes to see what I could capture. I scared her away and the shots were too far away or blurry, so I packed it up and figured I'd try later.
Tonight while I was sitting at the desk working, I spied the planter outside with its beautiful bright flowers. Now, as I've done before, I went out to photograph in a sort of macro way, these beautiful little flowers, but with little regard for my settings. And sure enough, I had a very low shutter speed, and I moved as the shot was being taken. BUT....I LOVE the result. It kind of makes it look like a watercolor or something and not a photograph. I didn't even edit it!
Now, if that doesn't suit your fancy and the whole blurry thing just makes you rub your eyes and blink, below you can see a "normal" flower photo.
