Pink

In honour of breast cancer awareness, the theme for this week's Flower Art Friday is 'Pink'.

Here is a selection of varying shades of pink flowers from my garden.

The spring weather is absolutely glorious at the moment here in Queensland.  With slightly cool mornings warming up to bright, sunny days, it's the perfect opportunity to get outside and work in the garden.  This is the first yellow rose of the season.

Project MCP April

Another month has gone by and it's again time to share the images from Project MCP for April.

Project MCP April, Challenge #1 and #3

Challenge #1 - Illustrate the following in a photo: Showers/Wet
Challenge #3 - Interpret the following in a photo: Blooming

I decided to combine challenge #1 and #3 this month when creating this image.

This photo of a gardenia flower was taken in my garden after a break in the rain.

The SOOC image was originally of a white flower on a green background. In an attempt to make the water droplets more obvious, I tried a few Lightroom presets and settled on "Purple Glasses".

Details: Canon 7D, Canon EF 100mm f2.8L macro, 1/800sec @ f11, ISO 800

Project MCP April, Challenge #2

Challenge #2 - Take a picture using a shallow depth of field.
