like diamonds in the light
Wet days can be a pain when you want to get out and work with the camera, but there are some situations that seem to lend themselves to this - flowers are one of those. Perhaps its the softer light or the water drops that appear on the petals but they always look gorgeous in this light - throw in a fill flash where needed to punch up the exposure and highlight it and the results... Well I am pretty happy with these ones to be honest.
It amazes me that even in the middle of a drought the gardens can bloom like this : Water Restrictions and fines have been in place for some time yet its a testament to the sub-tropical nature of Brisbane that its still green and lush in most places - recycled water is used heavily in the Roma Street Gardens and it shows.
I love the vibrance of this - the colors glow like something artifical and its just a wonderful wallpaper as well.
This series is all as it was shot - nothing adjusted - shot with the stock standard kit lens - 18-55 on an apeture priority setting.
