Spring finally came to New York, and yes, that’s not really news, but I got a serious cold that made me drink cold medicine like water. Definitely not pleasant, but hey, I didn’t catch a cold all winter, so that’s a win. Anyway, been away from the blog for a little while, thanks to the cold, but I now have couple of ideas worth sharing.
This past Sunday, I took a visit to the Brooklyn Botanical Garden. The place was packed with people and flowers (d’oh!! spring finally came), and I took the 60mm macro, the 17-55mm, 85mm and 135mm lenses with me, along with the flash, camera, memory cards and cold medicine.
You might ask – why bring the flash? Why use the flash on a bright sunny day? Stay tuned for the next posts, which will contain tips and tricks on how to photograph flowers!
There were so many tulips everywhere, it was hard not to take pictures like the one below:
While I’m not a flower buff, I do enjoy the explosion of color after the long harsh winter we had here in the North East.
As I said, the place was really packed, there were people everywhere. I thought it would be a good time to take out my fisheye lens and use it.
It was a really nice day as you can see above, and everyone was having a good time, sitting on the lawn at the Cherry Esplanade.
But back to the flowers – I went to the Botanical Garden afterall. And since it was so crowded, the only good background is the sky:
More pics from this series can be seen on Flickr or Picasa (depending on your personal preference).
