It looked like a field of wildflowers was cut apart by the trail. I spent the morning doing macro images of wild geraniums and sky pilots. Many, many larkspur and blue bells. A bit windy for photographing the blue bells. I dare you to get deep depth of field on a composition of blue bells! Further up the trail there was a lovely display of bitter cress along a creek crossing; I looked for columbine to fill the foreground. I spied a few parrys primrose along the next creek crossing (crossed on a log) and used fill flash to light up the interior of the primrose.
I forgot my rain gear so when the rain and hail started I headed back down trail. The rain and storm brought amazing color saturation, however, it also brought some damage to the flowers.
All along the road (a bit burly in places) there were wonderful compositions of near far, compression of space, flowers, middle ground, mountains!
We're going out for some more lessons on Thursday, July 23, Join us!
