Kwak Photo Adventures (Cruise to Mex)

[kriswak]

So today I had my photography field trip to the Fullerton Arboretum. It's only 15 minutes from my house and I never knew it existed. I took a lot of photos. Here are some (ok maybe a lot) of my favorites

Nice shots Kris!

I really like the white rose with the yellow background...and the duck family...and the close-up of the water rushing over the rocks...they're all great!

WOWZA!! Very nice Kwak, I too loved the white rose against the yellow background, that is stunning!

[kriswak]

I know I probably posted too many photos. But I liked so many I couldn't decide.

FYI. the yellow behind the rose is just a piece of construction paper.



And the Rose with a pink hue is using a piece of red construction paper to bounce some light on it.

Kwak you did not post too many, I enjoyed each and everyone and now to learn the secrets makes those pictures even more awesome! I also liked the fill the frame one, the yucca type plant or whatever it is makes a neat picture. I enjoyed every single one and if you have more please do post.

Great photos Kwak!!! I agree you couldn't post too many. More more!!!

My favorites are the yucca plant, the rose with the yellow background and the purple flower.

I love that yucca plant photo. You captured it so that it seems to move when looking at the photo. Awesome!!

I loved your bee photos! Amazing photos.

Kwak, The use of the construction paper was so interesting.
Thanks for the photo secrets.

That's what I noticed to Linda, the Yucca type plants seems to move! Very cool.

OK, since you asked for more, here are some more.
I don't think these are the best. But they are OK.
I have more, but they were just variations of the ones I already posted.
I think the only dup I'm posting here is the bee one, but it's a different shot. I took so many pics of that dang bee. And I loved them all.

How did I miss the hummingbird! Those guys are hard to capture, great shot! I love the bee to and the other pics you posted, wonderful pictures. Are you going to have these critique in class?

[kriswak]

Class is over
No we never had any pictures critiqued. Part of me wishes we did. But then again that would have taken time away from the lessons.

But if you want you can critique them for me.

[kriswak]

That was a one time shot on the humming bird. I saw it. adjusted my shutter speed. Took it.
Than waited in that area for a long time hoping it would come back. But it never did.

Maybe the shutter speed could have been a bit faster. But over all I'm pleased with it.

Beautiful photos, Kris!! You are so lucky to have a nice place like that nearby!

Class is over

But if you want you can critique them for me.

Okay! I like them, very nice! How's that for a critique. You learned a lot in the class.
