Daffodils

Here's a picture I took tonight just playing around. I'd love to know your thoughts.

oooh ... you should check some of JAS' shots of Daffodils in her Flickr album ... inspiring! Actually they are here at ph.ca too somewhere.

This is a nice effort ... looks a little over exposed in the bright areas. Kinda looks like too many light light sources. Maybe try again with a single source shot from the side.

Hi MA. I'll have a look for those I couldn't resist the shot. We had a few in the house and I just had to get the camera on them while they were in their prime. I'll play around with them as I took quite a few pics. I had two candles left and right off frame which really emphasised the golden colour in the daffs but I didn't want them in the scene.

Good move using candles for that reason ... but try one

Here you go ... check out a couple of JAS's shots of this nature to see how effectively she uses light and shadows with these ... calla lilies in bowl | Flickr - Photo Sharing! Yellow Calla Lily in Vase | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

Thank MA. Just had a look at some of her shots. They're really good The detail and composition of some of them are very nice and I like the beads of water/raindrops one one or two I saw.

This was my first attempt at flowers but I'm looking forward to around a month's time when more start to bloom. I'll try it with one candle tomorrow night.
