Bzzzzzz
Guess where I am today ? =p
That's Right, I'm at the Garden right next door to the Zoo at Sequoia Park
I was a bright, sunny day today but... the wind was gusting today, a lot.
A simple flower shoot turned complicated O.o
Today I'm focusing <,< on the California Golden Poppies that are in full bloom today.
These shot were all taken with a Canon Eos Rebel T7 with the 18 - 55 mm kit lens.
Despite the wind I did manage to get a good amount of images, so much so I had to break them into 2 or 3 flower posts.
The garden is in full sun right now and these Poppies are glowing bright neon orange.
All these images needed heavy dehazing despite me running a polarizer and UV filters.
Above is a shot from the back of the garden looking at the Wishing Well and Gazebo. Most of the garden is not in bloom yet as Spring came late this year, been a cool rainy one so far. Only the the beds that frame the Well are in bloom so far.
Among the Golden Poppies are a few of the creamy pale yellow ones that make a nice contrast to the bright orange ones.
They fade out to creamy white at the outer pedals
Below is a shot from the front corner. That Palm tree is a little out of place in a redwood park in Northern California lol. This is one of two Palms planted here before I was born, both are thriving though.
Oops I got my lens shroud in that one, you can see the dark corners.
Oh look at the time O.o
I need to Get some food and go into work for a couple hours so it's time for me to go.
See you all next time ;)
A little Sneek Peek at the Next One
