Today was a Blur! by bluemoon

Today was a Blur!

Another cold and cloudy day...I did make an attempt to take some pictures ouside but the wind was making it extremely difficult. I tried to get a couple shots of this Hibiscus out on the deck but it was blowing the petals even when sheltered so I took it indoors and said the heck with it. Didn't have a chance to take any other pictures so this will have to be my picture of the day, blur and all! :)
Still a nice shot - great angle! You sound like me - each time I go outside and try to do a macro the wind picks up and goes against my efforts. ;-)

Yummy color! Love how we can see the pollen that's fallen on the petals.
April 19th, 2011  
I think its great! Love the color :)

The blur works in this photo because the focus on the stamen and the pollen is just perfect. Very nice - despite the weather you braved.

I love it Paula. The blur works in a positive way - does not detract. (Did you get the snow that we got? 4 inches - ugh)

@barbsmith Thanks Barb! All we got was a light dusting on Saturday morning...gone by noon though! We've had crappy weather for days though....insanely windy since last Thursday! I hope your snow is short-lived too!! :)

Hi there,
Did you see the discussion I posted on Slow Photography? It made me think and was why I tried to remember to take it slow and easy. What I find so frustrating is my busy life and my struggle to remember the technology in the camera. Both of those things are related and I get down on myself sometimes because I love taking photos and want to improve. So, I am going to slow down and see what happens. I al also taking another class - this one on nature and landscape photo. I thought of you - I know you would enjoy it.

I'm sorry to hear about your weather. And yes, macro shots are very hard to take when it's windy. But you captured this beautifully, and the colors don't look cold at all!
