Flower Power

Greetings loyal fans! I'm going hippie-dippie this week and focusing my posts on flowers. One bouquet of flowers, though. That's right, just one. Taken from multiple different angles. They were a gift. Now that I took pictures of them, THEY CAN LAST FOREVER. MHUAHAHAHA (I apologize, my caffeine intake is higher than usual today...). Hope you think at least one of these pictures are pretty. If not, please tell me in the comments, so I can please you, oh fellow readers!

I am going to give you a little mini lesson before I subject you to several more pictures of flowers though. Probably should've told you in one of my first posts, but better late than never, right? It's called bracketing. For these three pictures, I changed the shutter speed so I could change the brightness/darkness, but still maintaining the blurred background. If I didn't want the background as blurred, I would've changed the f-stop. 

I like the middle one the best, but let me know which one is your favorite in the comments!

Now for shameless self-promotion of other flower pictures I took. Sorry not sorry.

If you're wondering how I got this cool lighting with the sun pouring in, I literally put the vase of flowers on the floor of my apartment in a patch of sunlight coming in through the window. Then I got on my stomach and pointed the camera up, having the sun come through the flowers in the background. Super easy, super fun. The more angles I tried, the better and more interesting the images came out. 

So I know what you're thinking. Damn, these are really good. Right? If you agree, let me know in the comments; I am desperate for feedback (and post ideas...)

Don't forget to stop and smell the roses every once in awhile! And after you do that, take pictures of the roses. Bam.
