87 Photo of the Day 29 March 2011 -- Tulips

We know spring is here when the tulips arrive.



Here I present a bunch of potted tulips. To shoot this picture, I located the pot by a bright east window after the sun had moved south. The bright natural light gave these yellow flower a very natural look. In addition, to provide contrast and texture, I placed a dark blue sweatshirt on a chair behind the flowers to serve as a backdrop. Having read about taking shots of flowers in natural light, I used the suggestions to employ a very small aperture of f22 to assure a strong depth of field.  It seemed to work.


f22  (aperture priority) 1/0.3sec  ISO 1000  FL75mm  Nikon D 200
