How did you get that background black with the yellow flower? Your photos are always inspirational.
ReplyDeleteFor that photo using my 300mm lens I made sure the bright sunlit flower had a dark background behind it and I intentionally underexposed the shot. Dark backgrounds are often heavily shaded areas behind the subject and that was the case in this photo.
DeleteIt's sure nice to see progress on our place, thanks Al. We expect to be back in Ontario before Labour Day, looking forward to seeing it for real. Gord.
