Day 462 - 5 percent

ISO 100, 200mm, f/2.8, 1/160 sec


My friend Jeff over at Cranial Aperture invited my on an outing with his photography group from Portland. Destination Wooden Shoe Tulips at sunrise.

This is always a favorite in the spring, that is if and when spring decides to come.

The field reports said that 5% of the tulips were in bloom Sunday morning.

This is what 5% looks like. I so appreciated the loan daffodil.

ISO 100, 100mm, f/32, 1.3 sec.

I hadn't posted any tulip photos yet and today Jeff asked me what happened.

So, I stepped away from the beer tonight. Jeff, this post's for you. Thank you for asking me along, I had a blast.

  2. I often feel like that daffodil! :) Those are both just beautiful shots. I wish so much that we had some tulip fields around here every year when I start seeing tulip pictures crop up!

  6. I really like the intimacy of the second shot! I just looked up what camera you're using. A $5,000 baby!!! Whooppeee!! Would love to have that to play around with. What photo editing software are you using? I just replaced my entry-level Pentax DSLR with a Nikon entry-level DSLR (the D3100). I decided after reading about so many cameras that I'll step up to professional level on my next one.
