It’s Yellah

FLOWER OF THE DAY – OCTOBER 14, 2015

Hi gang!  For Cee’s Flower of the Day today, I’m choosing one of my favorite and longest lasting blooms…the African Daisy.

While I adore taking pictures of them, it’s rare that I get any I like because I have this “thing” with taking photos of yellow!  More often than not, they are washed out…almost like it’s a white balance thing.  Is it a white balance thing?

As I continue working toward capturing vibrant yellows that retain some detail…there is something to be said about this problem when I shoot these daisies in a certain light.

They look almost as if the light were coming from inside and that is the only reason I kept this series.  They almost look cartoonish but for the red pot in the background.

Anyway, I like them and hope you do too.

Happy yellah….R

FLOWER OF THE DAY – OCTOBER 12, 2015

Flowers are the jewels in Mother Nature’s crown. They are also perfect subjects for a budding photographer. Their inspiration knows no bounds.

I am born to serve
An open invitation
To be exploited
