Signs of Spring
The spring is probably my second favorite time of year, after winter, because of all of the bright green foliage and brightly colored flowers. That green that just pops out at you from everywhere.
Spring Flowers
The bay area is notable for its gentle climate but this is never more true than during the spring. Even Berkeley is full of color, with flowers everywhere. These flowers were just hanging out on the sidewalk.
Early bloomers
Compared to my home in the Pacific Northwest things bloom mighty early here in California. These magnolias (I think?) caught my eye on a stroll through campus and so I thought I would capture a couple of the early bloomers.
Purple Shrub
This shot is amazing if only because I was able to combine three exposures of this plant taken on a day with intermittent gusts of wind which have the effect of blowing flowers like these around, typically foiling any attempt at blending multiple exposures.
Yellow Shrub
This shot comes from Robert Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve.
Rose Buds up close
I know I’ve posted close up shots of these roses before but here I’ve processed the shot as a single exposure HDR (so manually adjusted the exposure of a single image in post and then combining them) and I’m happy with the result.
Pink flowers
While I’ve posted a few close up shots of flowers on the blog so far this is my first attempt at a multishot HDR shot of flowers. I’m really impressed with the results.
Pink Rose
There’s something about close-up shots of flowers.
Calla Lilies
A very popular plant in Berkeley, the Calla lily also makes a pretty respectable photography subject.
