Spring Cathedral

As I probably said last year, spring is one of those great times for photography: a lot of color, subjects everywhere and it is spring! Here are a couple of images trying to capture the excitement and beauty of spring.

 

 

 

 

A couple of suggestions:

1. Use a polarizer to saturate the color.
2. Shoot just after rain or when things are wet to bring out the color even more.
3. Diffused light from a cloud cover is often best – but not always (you might want blue skies).
4. Experiment and have fun.

You may have noticed these are similar to my fall color suggestions.

Blog images:

1) Mirrored image with a bit of Nik Glamour Glow. Nice surprise cross in the image.

2) 9 exposures pivoting the camera slightly on a point on the tree trunk.

3) Just a straight shot. My favorite of the set.

4) 9 exposures moving the camera up and down slightly between exposures.
