This building is my idea of photography hell - its hot, humid and has loads of tourists milling about inside. Trying to get decent macro work done is impossible - you can't set up a tripod and people keep touching the plants and making things move (I particularly liked the eastern european lady who even managed to put her finger into the flower I was in the process of photographing!!) - rant over.... · Date: Fri July 9, 2010 · Views: 248 · Additional Info Keywords: Kew Gardens Camera Make / Model: Canon 450D Lens Make / Focal Length: Sigma 150mm Macro Event e.g.Grand Prix, Birthday, Sunrise: Kew Gardens Trip State / County / Area Image Taken: London Country Image Taken United Kingdom Processing Software Applications Used Photoshop CS3 « more · more »

Author Thread   janper44 Registered: December 2009 Posts: 7,081 Fri July 9, 2010 2:05pm I find the color of the water lily contrast well with the surrounding greenery and works to create a 3D feel in the picture. I find myself wanting to place the flower and accompanying bud entirely against a green background without the foreground water area but as you say the crush of people would not allow for always clear photographs. I had the same experience over the past weekend here in Winnipeg trying to photograph the Queen on her visit to our city... you thought you had the perfect view and someone would put an extended arm with a camera right in front of you and you had a great shot of the back of a hairy arm with the Queen's hat on top of the arm. scottstaley Registered: July 2010 Posts: 87 Sat July 10, 2010 6:13pm beautiful flower marhowie Registered: August 2009 Posts: 1,392 Sun July 11, 2010 2:07pm Great color and exposure, it's a beautiful flower.. I know what you mean, I avoid those kinds of places.. Too frustrating for this old fart
