Wild Flowers @ Wullong - 路边的野花不要采!!

I took this shot at the Wullong ; Xiaojin county, Sichuan; China.

This is a wild flowers. I am not sure what is the name of it.

The environment when I took the shot is humidity 95%; windy.

I took without tripod. It is near the foothill of Wullong Shan. The Panda home town.

It is great shot, consider the situations when taking this shot.

By the way did you see the spider thread??

Enjoy.

记 着 我 的 情
记 着 我 的 爱
记 着 有 我 天 天 在 等 待
我 在 等 着 你 回 来
千 万 不 要 把 我 来 忘 怀

All Drops Big & Small - 大大小小



All Drops Big & Small - 大大小小

These droplets are on the grass of my yard.

It was taken early in the morning, therefore the color is not warm as if is taken at the later of the morning.

The pink color is the rose petal, the color blended in with the grass green very well.

When shooting close-up Macro, one have to attend to the details. My 1st thoughts was to clone out the top right & bottom left grass stem. But I do see that after cloned out, it loose the original feeling of the scene of the nature.

Therefore, I decided to leave it as it is.

Consider the environment of the shot, this is another great shot!!

What flower is this??

This flower is from my backyard.

The color is very unique!! I have never ever seen this color flower on sales.

The bright orange or bright fire color make this very special.

The white powder coating is actually natural wax layer to protect the flower.

The white patch near bottom Center are the furs or Macro hairs.

Can you see the back lited sunlights??

I used a white paper tower to reflect light at the front of the flower.

Thanks for your visit; comments & Fave.

My Tribute To You!!

This is the rose at my side yard. Due to the hot period, the flower is not as large as early spring.

The sunlight is at an angle from the back of the Rose to give the glow.

I hand held a white pale tower 2 the bottom right to get more light for the rose.

Did you see a Bug in there?/

This is a great shot.

My tribute to all of you for the Views, Visit; Comments & Favorite.

Out of The Blue - 青出于蓝


Out of The Blue - 青出于蓝

This is a NaNo project.

The flower is actual on the tree, it was a windy mid noon, th3e brunch is moving with the wind; sun light is unsettle. Camera is mounted on the tripod.

Due to the weather condition. the project took me total 3 hour to shoot 100 shots & select this to share with you all.

ON the right bottom there is a blue petal , I am debating with myself whether to clone it out. But after thinking of the principle of maintaining the origin of Nature. I just leave it as that.

The Title is actual adapted from the Chinese Idiom.

Thanks rainoo for making the correction for me.

I read an article saying that Bee is more difficult to shoot during Summer & hot weather.

This shot was taken at the mid noon hot sun hour. The bee is very unsettle in doing his job. I shoot altogether 60 shots & selected this.

The wind is about 12mph at the time of shooting.

Money Thoughts


Money Thoughts - Happy Labor Day!!

This is a shot I took at the Tofu festival.

It is a journalism; candid; action shot.

She is very kind person. I told her that I have snap a few shots of her. She is very happy, even posed a few more postures for me to shoot.

I am feeling lucky at that occasion.

For these kind of shot, the T-Shirt is reflecting the sun light, while the umbrella is blocking the direct sun.

Thus the whole image have a soft lighting.

This is a great shot.

One & Only - 大器晚成


One & Only - 大器晚成

This is taken at the mid noon,

Mid-noon sun is not as good for the lighting & color of the shooting.

Can you see the hazes feeling??

However, I arrange the flower at an angle. I do use a white tower to reflect more light to the dahlia. The green color reflections are due to the natural was coating on the petals itself.

I am surprise to found that the purple petals are very hairy or furry texture.

This is a great shot.

Thanks for your visit; Faves, comments.

The foreground & Droplets are the main attractions. then you see the back ground blur to bring out the subject & focus. The image stand out is the sun lights back lited from behind the morning glory.

This is a great shot.
