Poppy

The weather was just right this afternoon to do some flower photography; it was warm, dry and slightly overcast.   Out of the three the overcast is the most important as it means that there is a bright light source without being too bright - thus creating hasrh shadows.

So I started off in my garden capturing images of a lovely red poppy that is flowering at the moment.  After this I went to the local park and tried to capture images of buttercups.  As usual I failed.  I just can't get the right balance between the bright yellow flower and the green background.  I need to work on this further.  Another challange!

Again, I have put together a show on Flickr which can be accessed by clicking here:
