Stop and smell the flowers

We have all heard the phrase, "stop and smell the roses" but I think more often then not we forget the importance of seeing the beauty around us. Because of that, I think that it is important that through the chaos of life we continue to stop and smell the roses. Since this class is nature photography, I decided to research the best ways to photograph gardens. I visited the website given in class, and came across 4 great tips as to the best ways to shoot garden photography. Below you will find these  great tips:

1. Don't shoot at noon: The sun is high at noon and it can bleach out your photos which causes them to have little detail. Instead, shoot in early morning or late afternoon.
2. Use weather elements: By using weather elements you can create dramatic effects. For instance, on a misty morning you can see water droplets on flowers.
3. Capture other creatures/things: Gardens are not just about flowers, roots, etc. Instead also try to capture insects birds, and other types of wildlife that you can find in a garden.
4. Compose your shot carefully: Good composition is key especially in close up shots.
