Day 4 - Other (Plants)!

I think one of my New Year's resolutions should be to label my pictures while I'm taking them. Some of these pictures could be orchids or cacti, but I'm not sure. At the same time, others are definitely NOT orchids or cacti. I therefore decided to group all of these into the "Other" category.

This doesn't mean that I didn't like any of them. Actually, there are several I loved. Here they are:









With these, I played with:

Angles

Lighting

Reflections

Shapes

And I aimed for simple and beautiful. Hopefully, I achieved that. :)

Many of my standard tips apply here (varying f-stops, ISO) but what made the biggest difference was kneeling, crouching, standing on benches, and trying every option I could find. The camera and lens help, obviously, but I don't let either of them do all the work for me.

Till tomorrow!
