A Few Wild Flowers

[Joel_W]

On my walk last night I came across what seemed like hundreds of these wildflowers growing along the water's edge.

Thanks for stopping by.

Very nice Joel you handled the yellow very well.
Since these are plentiful I wonder if we could see some in portrait orientation next time round?

Judi, I never thought of that. Will give it a try. I shoot just about everything on a tripod with a DR-6 right angle viewfinder, and this bank was kind of steep. So I really didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked, as I was more then a little nervous about loosing the setup down the bank and into the water. Will head back there soon, and try again.

As for the yellows, I did have to do some PP editing to bring out those rich tones. I should have been using spot instead of center weighted.

Can't wait to see them
Speaking of tripods and tumbles I had a HUGE OMG!! moment the other day.
I was down at the river taking long exposures at twilight. Now the river comes alive at night, everyone starts moving around. I had the tripod IN the river (zomg) and the exposure had just finished, I was putting my hand up to check the images and what I THINK was a raccoon came out of the bush right beside me, scared the snot out of both of us and I jumped and hit the rig.... I had visions of the whole thing tipping and it damn near did... I don't want to feel that ever ever again! *phew*

Judi, Talk about luck. Your adventure was sure more scary then mine. Of course it could have been worse. It could have been a snake.
