I
always love when I find a
Floral Photography object that I can
beautifully isolate against an attractive background. My last picture of
this kind I found in my Brookline neighborhood while driving home from grocery shopping. It not like the tulip fest in Amsterdam and Brookline is more famous for
being part of the finishing miles of the Boston marathon, birthplace of
J.F. Kennedy, 60 minutes reporter Mike Wallace or late night host Conan
O'Brien, but I like living here because of its close distance to
Boston and natural habitats and beautiful gardens. I captured this glorious Tulip
right of the sidewalk as one can see in above picture. The contrasting bright red of these spring flowers in front of the pink really
stood out and immediately drew me in. The tulip floral that I actually
made the main subject showed some real character and was brightly lit by the sunlight. I set up my
tripod and camera and started composing around the red flower with
my
Canon EF 70-200 mm f/2.8L IS USM lens and
Canon EOS D7
camera. The wind was a
little bit of a problem but my persistence kept me shooting until I captured my
vision. The camera aperture was set to f/5.6 that resulted in an exposure
time of 1/640 second and provided the limited
Depth of Field
to blur out the other flowers and shrubs in the background
nicely. I compensated by - 2 steps that helped to
saturate the colors and make the red tulip spring flower pop. During the post processing I minimally adjusted lighting, contrast
and color saturation before sharpening this final floral photography image of
"Afternoon Bliss".
