I am reaching that point in the project where I am wondering why I got myself into this. Seems like I always have better things to do than go out and look for flowers to shoot. Especially in the morning when it is expected to be over 100 degrees again today. But I forced myself to at least do a lap around the neighborhood with the new lens and found more beautiful sunflowers to shoot. I used to think it was a great thing to get a bee in my photograph but I am beginning to realize it is almost harder to get a photo of a flower without a bee on it. This one had the added issue of a bright blown out spot in the upper left which I thought to hide with a texture. Three textures later I finally found a look I could live with though I’m not sure I love it as much as the original. The new lens, by the way, is called Trio because you can set it one of three ways. In this case I’m pretty sure I had it on the sweet setting which works much like the Sweet 50 only it is a 28mm lens so gives a wider view of the flower.
