One recent evening I wanted to back and take more photos of the poppies. This time I went earlier, hoping to catch backlight, but the tall trees behind still blocked the light. So, I moved on to the garden y the museum. It was buggy and shady, but I caught a bit of backlight in some shots.
I don't know what flower this is, but I like it.
A peony with some light filtering through.
A flowerbox catching the light.
A closeup of the same flowerbox with one flower poking through the fence.
A somewhat impressive planter.
A bench in an alcove. You wouldn't have wanted to rest there on this very buggy evening.
Backlighting is fun and requires excellent timing. I have done some of this with my garden. Your photos motivate me. I think that one flower is a wild geranium.

ReplyDeleteFor artists and photographer light is often the difference between good and outstanding...
ReplyDeleteYou inspired me. I toddles down and found one remaining lady slipper! We just missed them...the trip was worth it, though.
ReplyDeleteEvening light presents such wonderful possibilities as you have shown here, John.
