I put into practice something I learned from watching some photography videos yesterday with Douglas Kirkland. He said “Get a different look, think differently” and “move your camera around. What is the strongest composition?” I picked some irises and put them in a bottle and did some pretty basic photos on the back porch. Then I started noticing the light and made some different angels. I realized I was being typical and only focusing on the flowers. Then I looked at the bottle and discovered some possibilities in that (one image is below). After awhile the sun started coming through the trees and making RAYS and I was able to make this beautiful image. This is the first time in awhile I have had images I didn’t have to do much processing of. I processed this image and the one of the bottle, but the other two are exactly what came out of my camera.
