A Time to Post (Pictures)

Pictured here are 2 yellow roses found on the rose bush outside my window. Each day another opens alittle more. While roses are not my favorite flower, I find the blooming of all flowers beautiful. The color of these blooms seems to lighten through the process.

As you all know I have been taking photos of the sky. It seems no matter what I do sometimes I just cannot capture the color seen on film. Photos of the sky also become somewhat difficult because there isn't a lot of open sky when you are surrounded by a large city and the powerlines and buildings of that city. This photo was taken in the early evening as the wind blew and the clouds drifted across the sky.

I have noticed that with a lot of my shots I am capturing movement. I find that I am almost shaking when I take these photos. This has forced me to realize that I need a tripod for my camera to work with close up shots. Though I must admit I like the affect on the image, I believe this is a new problem because so many of my images are taken when I am zooming in, whereas in previous photographs with 35mm film, zoom wasn't an option, nor was immediate viewing to capture mistake. Both images are of the same tree at same time of day with different lighting and angles.

I have been taking photos in the evening a lot with this project. I have been trying new things with my camera. I was surprised how the flash can change a photo so quickly. Both photos were taken within seconds of each other in a dark room. One with no flash and the other with.
