Sunset Haze on Lilac Blossoms

by Michelle on May 10, 2010

in photography

Can it get any more perfect? I was out last Saturday evening with my sister shooting a photography video, and the park was full of lilac blossoms. The smell was just so sweet, I could have stayed there forever! In between some takes while shooting, I shot some flowers. :) The light was amazing. And the sunflare… oh my! This is as close to perfection as possible!

Taken with my 50mm lens: f/1.4; 1/640 sec.; ISO-100.

Sweet Shot Day

Last week was a pretty nice week for taking pictures! It just flew by and I missed a couple of days, but oh well!

I found this huge clover in a patch of weeds in my yard. It was like a gaint compared to the rest of them! Taken with my 50mm lens: f/1.4; 1/640 sec.; ISO-100.

Some of my beautiful lilacs. I wish you could smell them… their fragrance is heavenly! Taken with my 50mm lens: f/1.4; 1/125 sec.; ISO-100.

This is in the parking lot of Albertson’s! I was in the car waiting for Aaron when I noticed the gorgeous sunset. One of the lucky few times I had my camera with me! (No, I don’t carry my camera with me wherever I go! I wish I was one of those people, but seriously… life, with two little girls, happens and I don’t always remember to bring it!)

Taken with my 50mm lens: f/1.4; 1/400 sec.; ISO-100.

Saturday my sister, Misti, and I went to the park to shoot a new photography video for our website, OpenScrapbook. (It will be coming very soon! Keep your eyes out for it! :) ) There were geese everywhere! We saw this momma and her babies coming out of the pond. I caught this little guy shaking off the water!

Taken with my 50mm lens: f/2; 1/4000 sec.; ISO-100.

Sunday we drove out to Aaron’s parents house for Mother’s Day. On the way I noticed the beautiful sunset and the gorgeous light it was throwing everywhere! All the plants were just glowing! I asked Aaron if would mind stopping so I could snap a few pictures. (To many of you, that would be no big deal! But for me, it is! I never ask to stop anywhere to take pictures…I always plan trips to go shoot. But I’m trying to be more spontaneous so I don’t miss anymore great photos!)

The 365 Project is still going strong! Well, trying to at least! This has been such a fun thing to do this year, and I have to admit, it’s been a little tough. I’ve missed some days here and there but it’s ok. I went back and looked at my photos from the beginning of the year and I was amazed! I think I have already come so far in my photography! I can’t wait to see what the rest of the year brings!

I am going to be posting my 365 photos on Mondays now. I think it will be a lot easier to keep up with, for posting on my blog. So, here are last week’s photos!
