Iris flowers

I find those iris flowers spectacular (photos taken in my garden):

And the rainy weather, bad for photography as it will keep you inside, can make miracles with those water drops:

Boat Show

Pretty much unhappy with the shooting at the boat show, the babes there, compared with a car or bikes show, are fewer, uncooperative and less hot (this is the second time I learn this this year). On top of this the sun was strong, really bad for photography, so many of the girls had sunglasses covering their eyes or large hats shadowing their faces, so it was a struggle to get something.

Portrait

Closing my portrait series of photos taken at the car and bike salon, naturally I should choose the one I like the best. Why I label this one as the best may be probably a not easy psychological thing to answer.

Eyes

…big, clear eyes with a nice catchlight add a smile and the portrait is ready!

The wonder of flash photography

I think the only way for me to take this portrait properly was using an external flash (strobe), of course, with all the needed precautions (softbox, bounced).

Orange flower

Too much girl portraits lately? How about interrupting for a flower close-up? Yes, it is also from my garden and I don’t know its name…

Update: the high resolution of the photo(s) here were lost in an unfortunate accident(human error made by be) and a bit later the only copy remaining (resized for web use, hosted on flickr) was deleted by the yahoo bastards. I am very sad about the lost content, but is out of my control. My only hope is I will be able to replace them with more and better shots.
