The old saying is that 'April Showers Bring May Flowers'. In fact, the title of this little update was going to be something along those lines until I found out that I've already used that a few times here over the years. April was kind of chilly this year. As a result, there aren't very many new flowers in my neck of the woods. So in an attempt to bring a little colour to our lives, it was off to the archives to find these cool flowers that I photographed while on vacation in the Mont Tremblant area a few years back. The first photograph was taken at f/2.8, 1/1000sec, ISO 100 at 51mm. Here are a few more that I took that day.
f/2.8, 1/400sec, ISO 100 at 60mm
f/2.8, 1/1600sec, ISO 400 at 60mm
As you can see from this little selection, I like taking either big close-ups of the flowers in order to get a nice look at the center or petals, or photographs from a little distance so that I can get a nice blurred background. Generally, I choose which I''ll try based on the location. It just so happened that this place offered a nice colourful background for some of the flowers so I was able to take both kind of shots.
