botanical foto lesson

for christmas,
cc gave me some new foto equipment.
namely a tripod and flash and more space...

he also gave me a workshop with the photo editor of
arizona highways magazine!

truth be told,
i am a people person,
and i don't really get into shooting nature usually...
i like my buildings, and fountains, and hydrants...

and the botanical gardens is a hard place to find color,
which is what i am about.
a lot of the others were more successful at seeing beauty in cactus

this is what i came up with:
(take note of the amount of plants vs. structures within the nature)



























i kept whining that there was no color, and then these people showed up!
i barely got them until they went to perform somewhere we couldn't get access to

it was the facilitator's favorite one:


thanks, cc.

i love learning more and more about this crazy obsession/hobbie

happy date night,
