  Thanks! I am bummed about the lighting though. It's too harsh. Posted 4 years ago

    It is bright, but I think it highlights the texture of the petals really well. It is always a tradeoff with different lighting :D Posted 4 years ago

      Thanks. I tried getting shots without flash, creating shade, etc. But those shots were blurry. The sun was so bright and it just wasn't ideal. But, I was happy to see them! Maybe they will still be there the next time I visit, or else grow back next year. Posted 4 years ago
