Dried Garden Flower

previous / next

This is another shot from Breuer Hill. These dried flowers were just so pretty. They were a little tough to keep in the frame because the breeze was starting to get a little brisk.

As you can tell I shot nearly straight down at them. I would not usually do that but I liked the perspective here.

News:

Anita Jesse (Through My Lens) has honored me by passing the Kreativ Blogger award to me. (Thank you Anita!)

According to the "rules" I am to list 6 things that make me happy...only six...hmmm...there are so many more! But here goes the short list:
  1. My family
  2. My kitty Missy
  3. Photography
  4. Christmas and all the trimmings!
  5. Lighthouses
  6. Anything to do with the beach and ocean
Now I have to list 6 other bloggers that inspire me...There are so many! I have been following some for so many years and it would be obvious for me to pass it on to them, and probably most of you will already know them and their work. I visit a couple of hundred photoblogs each week. Many of them are really well known, some are a little lesser known. I decided to pass this award on to maybe some that are slightly lesser known, but inspirational Photobloggers. (I wish I could name so many more!)
  1. Russ Devan, My Corner of New Hanover
  2. Betsy Barron, Daily Shots
  3. Azhar Chougle, The Daily Sunrise
  4. Rabbit, Spot the Pot (She makes her own ceramic pinhole cameras, fascinating work.)
  5. Gaye Johnson Photography
  6. Anita Bower


I visit so many very talented photobloggers that it is always so difficult for me to do these things. It always leaves me feeling guilty because I would love to honor all of them with an award.

This photo of the Bucknell Football field is a 2 page feature photo in the Fall 2008 issue of Bucknell Magazine.

This photo of the Bucknell Quad is a 2 page feature photo in the Summer 2008 issue of Bucknell Magazine.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As of July 2008 I have decided to post the same photos on "Parallel Universe" as I do here. It has become too complicated to maintain two different photoblogs on a regular basis. Feel free to visit "Parallel Universe" and look through the portfolio/archives since there are quite a few photos there that were never posted here. I will continue to post on both since each one gets different viewers. I have also changed the title of Parallel Universe to Capture This Photography 2.

Check out my other Photoblog portfolio/archives:

A beautiful image notable for its sharp detail in a narrow plane and wonderfully, deep background to make the blossom pop! Fine work.

Wonderful detail. I like taking things from a different perspective too.
I enjoyed looking at the amazing work of the bloggers that won the award. They certainly deserve the recognition.

Laurie, You're way too kind. Thank you very much!

I really like the bokeh in this image as well as the great contrast between the flower and the background. Very nice indeed!

good detail but it's the rich green backdrop that's the clincher...
