Lemonade

My plans were all made.  Arrive before sunrise and set up to get the good morning light with no wind.  With an abundance of wildflowers and a weather prediction of partly cloudy, how could anything go wrong?

THEN Mother Nature changed her fickle mind!!!!  As we neared our destination, the sky lost all definition.  No stars could be seen.  Then the mist started and the wind picked up speed.  Well, you know what they say, “The best laid plans of mice ……………” But, they also say, “If you get lemons, make............... “  That’s right.  So what follows is the “lemonade” from my Friday trip to Doughton Park on the Blue Ridge Parkway, NC.

Can you see the raindrops on the lance-leaf coreopsis?  Some say that the rain or mist helps bring out the color on photographs.  I say the rain on my lens produces blurry water drops on my photos.  Rain on my camera could crash the camera electronics.

Here you see Queen Anne's Lace, Lance-leaf Coreopsis and Knapweed.  What a lovely combination blowing in the wind!

Since it was very difficult to get a sharp image, I decided to try an artistic filter on this one.  What do you think?

Here is a different artistic filter treatment.  What do you think about this one?

So here you see my lemonade.  I would love to have you write a comment.  Feedback is important to me as I strive to improve my photography.
