Zoo Flowers
Sunflower in the Sun
Hey there everybody. There’s not too much going on these days. The week before last we had some unseasonably crappy weather which stopped me from taking a short trip to the coast to take some landscape photos, and then I had a tattoo touched up, which kept me sitting at home and avoiding getting sweaty and moving about too much for the better part of a week. Which all means I’ve been bored for about 10 days or so. I haven’t been completely home-bound, I’ve gotten some more street photography done, with a roll of b&w in being processed right now, and about half a roll of Velvia used up.
Aside from that I have a couple of flower photos to post at least. I recently bought a bunch of crappy film, 10 rolls of ISO-200 Kodak ColorPlus, and 10 rolls of ISO-400 Fuji Superia, so I could test out my cameras’ meters and also just play around, experimenting with ideas while not having to worry about wasting a roll of Velvia, which costs about $10 here. I went to the local zoo, which also doubles as a botanical gardens of sorts, and took some macro shots of flowers to test out my meter. These two shots were my favorites. The sunflower pic is cliche as hell, but I like how I caught the blue tones in the background that contrast with the yelllow so well.
