When I was down by the river this weekend, I saw these strange-looking birds. Â I thought they were black ducks. Â I searched the internet for black ducks with white bill and lo and behold . . . they're coots. Maralee
Tulips . . . V (Finale)
While most of my tulip photos were more of a macro nature, I did take a few photos of them all together. Â I liked the blend of colors. Maralee
Tulips . . . IV (Backlit)
I wanted to try to get some photos of the tulips when they opened using backlighting from the sun. Â We were fortunate to have a couple of beautiful, sunny days. Â Today there was a lot of sunshine but there was a thin high cloud cover which made for a little more diffused lighting. Maralee
Tulips . . . III (Yellow Tulips)
These yellow tulips were from the same bouquet. Â I liked the fringe on the petals. Â These just seemed to brighten up the whole room. Maralee
Tulips . . . II (White Tulips)
Today's installment of tulips is white tulips. Â I was trying to photograph white tulips against a white background. Â I was able to get the tulips white but he background turned gray. Â So I had to do some adjustments in NIK Viveza to lighten the background a bit. Maralee
