Spring Is Here

Finally a few blossoms around. It was 80°F yesterday, so I think the trees are finally going to start blooming, daffodils are as well (don’t have any pictures of those just yet).

Silhouettes

Since i’ve been following the Strobist blog lately, I thought I’d try my hand at actually getting out of the box, literally, and try some shots outside of my little macro studio. I had a bit of an idea last night, and its something thats been done millions of times before, but it’s new to me. Using a flash behind the model (and a beautiful model she is) I would create a Silhouette, and be able to separate the model from the background.

flowers

I recently acquired a Canon 100mm f2.8 macro lens. I had rented one a few months ago for our trip to Shenandoah National Park. It was fun to play with, but I really wasn’t sure that it was something that I would want to use regularly. I decided, however that with the springtime coming up, i’d want to have something to play around with shooting all the flowers in the area.

It’s just amazing that living here in our Nation’s capitol how many cool things there are to do. L and I were out looking for wedding reception sites and found this cool place called Brookside Gardens, which is up near where we used to live in Maryland. Won’t work for us, however, just because of the size of the venue. There was an orchid show going on, and I took some pics of that, but I like these little white and yellow flowers. I’m not sure what they are, exactly, I suppose I should’ve taken a shot of the badge identifying the flower species.
