Jan, they show repeats here on Wednesday night, so I get to see 2 aweek of "Numbers".
I have a clump of Siberian Iris "Ceasars' Brother" (incase you don't know, it's really dark blue) out front, next to the road. It has caused me more frustration trying and trying to get true colors with my camera. I've found that with it in full shade under a big old Oak Tree, I can get a different color at every angle from 360 degrees of that bloom. I know my neighbors thank I'm a nut case when I spend an hour taking photos of one plant, while moving an inch at a time around and around that darned plant. But, it really really does make a difference with each click of the lense. I usually take 30 to 40 photos and end up with maybe 2 or 3 that are close to correct. It's the most beautiful blue color, but it sure is hard to photograph and just forget getting it in sunlight. It's a washed out looking light blue.
I have loads of fun with my camera and all of GOd's colors in my garden. I spend many hours taking photos when my daylilies are in bloom. I like to do it, but I'm not one to be happy with point and click. I have to try every direction and angle to I get what I want and that's why it takes as many as 1,000 photos in one day to get it right. No, I don't keep them all, but it takes loads of time to go through them.
