I headed out to the National Arboretum for the Ikebana International Annual Spring Flower Show at the National Arboretum in DC. I'll cover the flower show tomorrow, as it warrants its own topic. I actually took some of my own advice! I packed light, avoided harsh sunlight, and I looked for inspiration along the way.
That said, it wasn't easy. Take a look at some of these shots:
You see, I researched the flower festival and its details, but not so much the park itself. These are some pictures of azaleas, before the peak. Luckily, I packed light - I was hiking up and down the trails trying to find something that would work.
Having said that, I think these are nice and simple. They're not stunning, and I would never enter them in a contest, but they are pretty. I enjoy looking at them. And that's fine with me.
I used my kit lens - ISO 100 and automatic white balance. Any camera will work.
