Missouri Botanical Garden

Wednesday, April 27th, 2011

My parent’s were in St. Louis last weekend so we met up with them for the day, we decided to go to the Missouri Botanical Garden and walk around for the afternoon. I took my camera with me and a couple of lenses including a macro lens to try to do some close up photography. It was a nice overcast day which helped to even the light over the flowers.

My mom participates in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer with my aunt who is a breast cancer survivor every year. For the last few years my mom has been doing a fundraiser which includes a silent auction and I have been donating a pink flower print to help with her fundraising efforts. I was sure to take some pictures of pink flowers to add to my collection.

Drop, drop, drop

Thursday, January 13th, 2011

The weather wasn’t so hot a couple of nights ago. It was one of those nights that you just want to be inside and find something creative to fill your time with. I’ve always wanted to try water drop photography but never got around to it, so the other night was the perfect opportunity. With the help of a pan, baggie, water, magic arm, and a couple of strobes, I transformed our bathroom into a mini studio. Shooting the water drops was fun and I’m sure I will be doing it again sometime.
