Yosemite National Park in Spring (No. 2)

Ansel Adams said that "The negative is comparable to the composer's score and the print to its performance. Each performance differs in subtle ways." Since getting back from Yosemite National Park (about four weeks ago), I've been working on my initial digital images (the "scores") and trying to make the best possible "performance" (final image) from each one. Here is the next batch of my Yosemite photographs. If you missed my first Yosemite post, you can find it HERE. To purchase any of my photographs, visit my ETSY SHOP.

Spring Flowers in Bucks County, Pennsylvania

After a seemingly endless winter, I was more than ready for signs  of spring:  warmer days, the start of the baseball season, and spring flowers.  I've gone out several times during the past two weeks to photograph flowers in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.  The photographs below were taken at Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve (in New Hope, Pennsylvania), and various locations in Yardley, Pennsylvania (next to Lake Afton, and a Dogwood Tree near the old cemetery on Yardley-Morrisville Road).  After the grays and whites of winter, its great to see the assortment of spring colors.  To see more of my flower, nature and landscape photographs, click HERE.
