Morning is the best time to take pictures in my garden. Plants look different then. With each of three plants, I included their picture taken without morning sun.

Beautiful photographs Tatyana. You mentioned an important fact about lighting that I really did not touch on. That each time during the day the photo will be different of a subject just due to how, what intensity and where the light hits. The color of the light changes throughout the day and affects the photo, some good, some bad. You got some nice lighting through and bouncing off the flowers. Thank you so much for joining, your fotos are always fabulous.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, early morning is the best time - though occasionally sun set can add a different colour value.
ReplyDeleteA love your few of your garden. What I notice in this time of the year that the color's of photograps looks warmer then in full summer. Or is this just my idea?

Beautiful! I love spiderwort and yours with the droplets on them really touch my heart. The hollyhocks are so pretty with the morning light. I haven't tried to grow them in my garden but these are inspiring!
ReplyDeleteThe illuminated hollyhock shows such detail that doesn't show up in the non-illuminated. Good pictorial.
ReplyDeleteТаня, спасибо за чудесные фотографии. Мальва остается такой же сочной, а мои любимые флоксы... Просто буйство красок! Таня, скажи, а традесканция действительно таким голубым цветом цветет? Я знаю только о белых и розовых цветочках))) Третье фото снизу - волшебное. Можно его скопировать? Не налюбуюсь)))
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures Tatyana, you've captured so well early morning serene energy of your garden, thank you for sharing
ReplyDeletehocks are a favorite of mind. nice illumination.
ReplyDeletewonderful photos showing many aspects of illumination
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to show the plants with and without illumination. The contrast is dramatic.
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference between the illuminated and the non-illuminated shots! Light can have such a magical effect! Thanks for making me more aware of this. Great photos as always!

Tatyana, you have one of the best shots always, from the first time i saw your blog that has been sustained. We can see the effects of light more when you showed the contrast. But i love most that lone Tradescantia amidst water droplets. I hope you see mine so i can improve, thank you.
ReplyDeleteThe morning light makes all of the difference! Lovely pictures. Carla
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, Tanya. Early AM is my favorite time for photos too, and you have shown with exquisite photos just why that is!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are superb Tatyana! I especially like the red hollyhocks. The sunlight is captured perfectly.
ReplyDeleteThe red and the green stand out with the illuminating light so beautifully! And I am in awe of your perennial phlox...lovely!
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful imagery. I love the middle phlox pix the best.
ReplyDeleteYour illuminations shots are so real, as though I can touch it. I especially like the water droplets shot.
ReplyDeleteLovely shots, such wonderful plants as well
ReplyDeleteWonderful lighting photos. Love that one of the red hollyhock (think the third photo)...it just glows.
ReplyDeleteVery nice pictures. Especially the hollyhock. I have never seen one look that nice! Thanks for sharing!

I've never seen hollyhocks photographed so beautifully before, a unique perspective. I like how the lance shaped leaves in the first two photos contrast with the roundness of the flowers.
ReplyDeletehollyhock such a bright beacon
ReplyDeleteGreat pics! I too have Hollyhock flowering at the moment.
ReplyDeleteNo question about it...capturing just the right light makes a difference.
ReplyDeleteMornings are quite and peaceful and that glimemering out of focus background is heavenly.
I'm so jealous. I used to have tons of hollyhocks, but since we moved to the woods none. I love that rich red color. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
