Fun With Flowers


So I was out in the garden this evening after it rained, and I decided to snap a few pictures of my crape myrtle, which has just started blooming. Then I just decided to play around a little bit with the pictures. And because I can, I will share them with you!


So this was the first one I took, and the only one I intended to snap when I went out:


then I cropped, saturated and softened...


then tried the original crop in B&W...


then softened in sepia, which is my favorite....what do you think?


Umm...then I got snap happy, and got a nice shot peering out through the lemongrass jungle, saturated slightly, and lightened


and then it was on to having fun with the lemon balm. I super saturated this one by accident, then kept it because it looked funky


Then did the same shot in sepia, with heightened contrast


As you can see, I love to play with cameras and editing. I can't wait until July, when I start going back to college to get my BA in Photography. This is why I love working in the photography business! Portraits aren't my thing; I love landscapes and macros of plants and flowers, and vignettes. 
Sorry, this was last nights post....I fell asleep before I got it finished! I will be back later this afternoon with our  "Herb of the Week"!
