Kelly's Flowers as Promised.

So as promised here is a photo that I took of my wife's flowers. I took only a few but I really liked this one. I also took some very close up images as I was using my Macro lens but I still chose this one. I was really impressed that the petals had so much texture to them when I shot them up close and personal it really stood out. I was not using any type of lighting equipment just the little bit of sun that was left filtering through my windows at dusk. I liked the soft light but I wish I had started a little earlier as I ran out of light before I was finished. I think I will have to buy my wife some more flowers so that I can practice shooting flowers by painting with light. I had intended to use these flowers to practice painting with light but time doesn't stand still for me and I have been extremely busy lately. So much so that I have discontinued one of my daily blogs. My stock photography has also suffered as a result but my bills are being paid and that is a good thing. My body has not been fairing well as the 14 hour days are wearing on me. I have decided that after this month I am taking a month off from side jobs, I am just going to work my 40 hours and go home. Hope you enjoy the images, tomorrow I plan to show you another self portrait. As long as nothing more exciting presents itself, I mean what can be more exciting than pictures of me? LOL!
