My daughter and husband found me the perfect fluffy dandelion out walking yesterday and gently carried it home. I had already taken my shot for the day so I clipped it in my clamp and hid it in the close hoping it would last another day. It got very droopy but it survived! I had a lot of fun shooting this one and took a ton of pictures. It was hard to pick my favorites.

Day 255
It's officially Spring when you see the yellow flowers of the Forsythia bushes blooming. I got one this weekend for our backyard. They really are bright and cheery in the Springtime.

Day 253
My tulips from earlier this week opened up today. Just in time for some more shots. I desaturated in Lightroom and used the Aged Photo filter for the soft tones.

Day 250
I spent a lot of time trying to get this right today. Did you know water drops have a mind of their own? They do not go where you want them to. In the end I just sprayed down the whole flower until I got a few decent drops to gather where I wanted them on the stem. I'm very pleased with the end result as this was my first time trying water drop refraction on a stem.
I used both of my trusty speedlights again today for this shot.

Day 232
Playing around with my new macro lens. I had nothing living in my house to shoot so I turned to my fake lavender arrangement.

Day 171
I am still trying to get sharp water drop photos but I think I am getting closer. I set up a decorative gift bag (which is now soaked) behind the facet and let the water drip in a clear glass dish over the sink. This was the best out of the 100 or so shots taken. I also used my new SB900 as a master and had my SB600 off to the side at a right angle. I used manual focus on a spoon laid across the dish where I thought the drops would hit.
