I’m taking an art class at Merced College, I’m a left brained kind of guy, so this is a real challenge for me. Anyway, each week I’ve passed these flowers and finally got around to photographing them. I’m not sure of the name but I bet ‘Bell’ is in there somewhere. If you know please leave a comment.

I was hiking in a remote location west of Palo Alto when I saw these beautiful blossoms. The wind was blowing. Normally I shoot flowers at f22, iso 100. In order to get the shutter speed fast enough to “freeze the action” I had to use iso 400 and f 5.6 ro so. Keep in mind: Shutter speed, aperture and iso setting determine the quality of your image. A fast shutter speed freezes the action, a wide open aperture gives you a great depth of field and a low iso avoids a grainy image.

Happy shooting
