A Present for Mark
A little spring to brighten you days!
:)
PS - I know it is really busy but it is the essence of Magnolia in Spring!

Black Leopard
This female has arrived at Hamerton. This place rescues animals from all over the world, mainly endangered species, and they breed when they can.

A couple of old photos taken while the Amtrak was stopped - somewhere in Colorado, I think?
(And yes, I like that the vertical leans!)

I've photographed Ady a few times now. We get better each time as a team. This image was a fave from our latest session. I hope you like it to.

Just a heads up for anyone that may be interested (and as things are slow in the group.....).

Cheeky, I know, Ruth! But it's just SO busy. I'm not into gear-freaking, but I think it needs a faster lens to highlight the nearest bloom against the mass. Or, stand back and show the massed effect. Also, I know magnolias are not vividly coloured usually, but it just looks a bit flat.
I'm lucky enough to have one in front of my study where I'm at the computer.
In the spirit of friendship. :-)
Much nicer! It's always all good feedback.
I generally don't question what other photographers do, but I have to agree with Chris, although not exactly from the same point of view. I agree the issue is a lack of separation, but I think the problem is lighting rather than depth of field. I suspect a strategically located strobe or reflector might have improved the situation.
Thanks Andrew. I'll admit this was just a snap shot to share a little spring. I am just learning about using a flash for situations like this. I appreciate your input!!

Lovely and thanks Ruth! We've gotten our fair share of snow this winter/spring. The good news is we were in drought conditions and that may be over. Besides, great waterfalls are a definite when that snow starts melting!
Now that is making delicious lemonaide of out cold weather lemons!
