Two pink cosmos
There’s nothing like natural light, is there? These cosmos from my garden were catching just a bit of sun in their vase on the windowsill. This image, like most of the ones I show here, is straight out of the camera. When the light is right, most of the photo is just right there for you. Keep your eyes open and be quick!
Visit Pink Saturday, SOOC Sunday (straight out of the camera), Today’s Flowers, Color Carnival, Macro Flowers Saturday, Macro Monday, Mellow Yellow Monday, Weekend Flowers, Shadow Shot Sunday and Macro Friday. See the complete and up-to-date blog here by clicking on Sara’s Fave Photos, here or on the banner above. The light and shadows in this one float my boat so I’m calling this my Best Post of the Week.

Yes, you are right, natural light is the soul of photography.
Your cosmos flowers are laughing in the sunshine.

Dear Sara, I’m fighting with my DSRL camera for a long time now and I still don’t seam to understand how light works. Light problem in photography is my main concern these days, that’s why my previous comment sounds “poetic” to you but entirely true for me.
I’m still not able to take at least so good photos with the big camera as with the point and shoot.
Any ideas?
Btw, I hate two words comments like “nice shot” but I can try it next time.

Another beautiful photographic capture. Nothing like nature providing the subject and lighting. You downplay your roll in the whole thing. I thinkn you need more accolades, your photos, and the shadows you see and capture, are beautiful!
Peace
