Marilynne's Wetlands and Other Stuff

[Marilynne]

Thought today was going to be a good bike day. We took the long way to our favorite pizza place, four miles instead of one. Had some yummy pizza. Dark clouds started building up. Heard some thunder and decided we best head home. Stopped for a few flower shots. About 10 minutes after we got home, the skies opened up.

Played with these in camera.

Thanks Barb. I like the red/white/yellow. I was amazed I was able to get this shot. It was really windy this morning and the tree branches with the flowers were way over my head, about 8 feet up.

Thanks Pat! I thought it would make a good B/W, but it didn't.

Thanks Pat! I thought it would make a good B/W, but it didn't.

I have the same issue with a bunch of mine.. I put all in the right time frame in a collection and in LR, turned all B&W.. Those that look decent I will go sspend extra time to improve... Those that do not, I can just remove from the collection...

​I believe this would be a good HDR candidate.

Thanks Ted, but I don't have anything that makes HDR. You can play with it if you'd like.

Last time they were around, I saw 6 footers with hands bigger than mine, and I've got meat-hooks. We'll need another 7-day 35 degree week this winter.

This was very lightly processed to keep a more natural look.
