The photographers, "Special Glasses" by Lacho Challenge

Lacho has a great idea for a challenge and here is the link for this challenge.

I thought I would show to you how spring looks right now in San Diego County, California and some flower photos. I love taking photos of nature! Here are some.

#1 All the color..

Stuff is getting colorful.. Our pretty landscape of some hills near by.

#2 Is it a tiny apple? Or a very large PENNY?

No, but a berry from a tree, that looks just like tiny apples. I put it on a penny to show the size.

#4 Lavender Lantana with the orange in the back round.

This one could of been lightened a little. This is straight out of the camera, no edit.

lacho59 says:

March 24, 2018 at 3:13 pm

I like small adjustments to increase contrast. I do not know why, but I can never get a good picture of Lantana. I’ll try with the new camera.

  The new camera’s sensors are top notch Elenka, try now!
Carol DM says:

Never had lavender, it is stunning.

  I like it the best, but it doesnt have much of a color variation, like the others do.
MommyofEli2013 says:

March 25, 2018 at 1:23 am

They look great together! Thank you for sharing!!

  They do look great together, and I wouldnt think orange and lavender would.

#5 Depth of Field

I put the camera on macro setting, this made the back round look out of focus.

You can even see part of the spider web on the left. She’s okay

  Thank you Mom, never thought of it, but I guess it is a macro, it is slightly bigger than the original flower.

#6 Sunny flowers

Pointing straight at the sun caused these sun flares.

Carol DM says:

March 24, 2018 at 6:10 pm

Love this one, the sunlight really helps the composition.

  It made the colors so deep, and didnt silhouette. I was happy with it.
