Flower Pictures

***Reefland*** · 06-06-2005, 01:54 PM

There seems to be a lot of flower pictures being posted so I thought it would be cool to start a Flower Picture thread for us to talk about the flowers and ideas for improving the picture qualities.

Here is on we have in our backyard. Can't remember what it is called but we have these and some contrasting white ones which have not opened yet. This one just opened yesterday.

I'm going to guess Lillies....

GREAT SHOT! I like the composition and use of contrasting colors, only thing that would make it better is to seperate the subject from the background more. You can do that by using a small f stop number, which corresponds to a larger opening. This will also increase your shutter speed.... Try one in Av mode, set it to the smallest # and see what you get!

Is that considered a macro algae? or some new form of coral from the bikini islands?

Chuck.....lol

It's an asiatic lily of some sort. I have a bunch in my deck pots, but it's not warm enough yet here in PA for them to have bloomed.

Here's a couple I took in Florida last May.

Here's a couple I took in the yard today.

dragonladylea · 01-07-2006, 10:13 PM

Man Bubbawpb did you have to say you took them today??? The ground is white here!!! And it definately aint warm and sunny!!

BubbaWPB · 01-07-2006, 10:37 PM

Well, it's not warm here, either! It's so dang cold, I had to turn off the a/c and open the windows today! It's even colder tonight - I had to shut the windows!

dragonladylea · 01-07-2006, 10:55 PM

And here I sit wrapped in a thermal blanket and my bunny slippers

**Poseidon** · 01-08-2006, 10:16 AM

No fair! There are NO flowers in JANUARY!

***Reefland*** · 01-08-2006, 10:40 AM

Really! If I got a shot of anything it would be dead sticks.

BubbaWPB · 01-08-2006, 02:51 PM

Well, here are a few more pics from the yard today.... the second isn't technically a flower though, but I'm sure you figured that out. I also sent the weather report (from weather.com).

Can't complain much in balmy Kentucky either. It is 64 here.

***zhenya*** · 01-08-2006, 10:55 PM

Well, I'll add couple of flower pictures, however, they were taken during the summer time. Like Scott said, it mostly icy sticks around here now.

It's NFL playoff time for Christ sake.

BubbaWPB · 01-09-2006, 07:03 PM

Very nice iris... and all the pics are nice, too.

Jimbob · 01-09-2006, 10:14 PM

Here are a couple that I took this past spring... I'm suffering from the same problem as dragonladylea in that there are no flowers here now.

Great shots, Jimbob.

I love that lilly shot the best.
