Very nice shots people.
If this year is anything like last year, will have shots of tons of them come the first weekend in August. Yet again this year hiking to the headwaters of the middle St. Vrain. Its a long hike (depending on if you can get up the 4X4 road or not its 8-16 miles round trip hiking) so it keeps foot traffic down, and when you get up there its basically impossible to walk without stepping on wildflowers. As for recent stuff, when I get more time later tonight I will post up what I got this weekend.
Ok.... large post from the weekend trip. Went up to a little pond that is a little ways off the beaten path. The pond is full of lilies, and they are in bloom. The exposure on these is very much a PITA. The RAW files show well over half the shot has clipped shadows... except for the flower. It is half clipped on the shadows, and half blown highlights. lol. There is almost no in between. There is little editing on the first few, and no editing on the last bunch. Hopefully they look as good to everyone as they do to me as I sit editing in the dark. Sorry for the overabundance of one kind of flower, I can't decide which shots I like best.
From here on there is no editing, just a black frame added.
this and the last are the same flower, this one just shot vertical.
and finally, flowers that are kinda different. Sadly enough on all except the columbine I didn't even look at where I was aiming. Just held the camera close with a 10mm lens and shot away.
and finally the last shot. Sorry if I bored you all. lol
