14-JUN-2005 Lee Rudd

Delphinium

Tuesday 14th June - Day 178

I feel slightly less brain dead today, after a much less interrupted sleep....AND my yoga class awaits, which is always good for a laugh and/or relaxation.

However, not much time for a really creative image, so a rush into the garden to take this. Question: Why when Blue and Purple are so much trouble to photograph are most of the flowers in the garden blue of purple? Lack of planning I think!

Nikon D70 ,Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro
1/60s f/5.0 at 50.0mm with Flash full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

Asisw from this being an awesome picture, I'm confused as to WHY I haven't seen a pic of you doing yoga? LOL!!

You've done a great job with this one. Looks fantastic.
Guest 14-Jun-2005 21:34
Oooh - I like the blurred round the edges effect! Blue looks good to me - I thought it was just a Canon thing; purples are most difficult for me!

This blue might just be my favorite color.

Gorgeous blue, Lee. I have tried to photograph the Dephinium but it is so brilliant it blurs; you've done well. Yoga class?

Nothing wrong with this blue Lee & because I'm a fan of blue & purple flowers as fill-ins nothing will make ma say there is either :>) I'm behind in catching up but getting there little by little.
