Every once in a while, I like to take photographs "just because". I don't always need to be experimenting with my gear, or trying to learn some kind of new technique. I love to photograph flowers - sue me ! I decided to change things up a bit this morning. Our dining room window had some beautiful light, and Pat's about-to-be-replaced bouquet of flowers were lapping up just that last little bit of sunshine. Most of the blooms were dead or dying, but this one orchid was hanging on for dear life !
The Setup
As always, I shot with my Canon 60D. To change things up a little, I mounted my Canon 17-40mm f/4 L wide-angle zoom lens. I shot handheld, as I like to get in nice and tight. At first, I was using a 12mm extension tube, but didn't get the results I had hoped for, so they were discarded pretty much as soon as I saw them ! Only the first photo below survived.
The Photos
Lessons Learned
None - I like lilies. Sometimes you just need to shoot for the joy of it. =D
