The Peace Lilly

I noticed the Peace Lilly bloom this morning as I was crossing the front porch. It was early, soft morning light falling across the bloom.  Soft, subtle and quite beautiful.  Shot with the 300mm to blow out the focus on the background.  This was probably a stop and a half underexposed.

We are surrounded by beauty in an ugly world, we just have to take the time to see it. So, see beauty, don't create ugly!

Capturing Water with a High Shutter Speed

 

What happens when you shoot a fountain at really high shutter speed? 

These are at 1/4000th second.

 

Instead of streams of water, you get droplets.

 

 

 

 The two top photos appear to the eye as solid streams of water.

 The bottom photo is the water falling into the basin.

Playing in the Sprinkler

 

Nothing fancy here, just getting wet shooting the sprinkler.
