After a morning of errands, Pat and I saw our very first sunshine in forever! Of course, cameras are always on hand, so we stopped on the way home at a fun nursery called the Grey Barn. We had only moments, but we went crazy!
Clematis centers:
I was experimenting (at last) with my camera's different focus techniques, and I was pleased with the results. Of course, some went into the trash bin, but for the most part, things turned out. I am happy with myself for finally taking the time to try to learn about my Nikon D300 instead of just using the"P" mode.
These 1st 4 are clematis centers. They are also sooc; I was so thrilled with the natural color and the focus - why didn't I try this 2 months ago?! 1st and 4th were cropped only slightly; the others were not. All hand-held.
Maybe this one is a little hard to look at, being all-white?
And, a miniature gerbera. These colors are sooc; I love the way they look like brush-work.
There will be more from the Grey Barn, but tomorrow is a planned outing (based on a positive weather report!) to the Univ. of Wash. campus. Wheeeeeeeee!
