A Blanket Of Color
I was waiting by the Forsythia to see if I could find any hummingbirds. While I was waiting, I saw some beautiful tulips next to the Forsythia. I was torn between keeping on my long lens to hopefully capture a hummingbird shot or putting on my macro to photograph the tulips. I never saw a hummingbird, but I believe I heard one twice.
So while I was waiting, I photographed the tulips with the Forsythia in the background. I sort of looked like a three-ring circus as I was trying to get the perfect shot. I did not have a reflector to diffuse the light, so I hung my jacket on my tripod to block the harsh sunlight. I then laid on the ground under the tripod to photograph the tulip while it was in the shade of my jacket. I then used a flash to bring back in more light. I think the beautiful, yellow Forsythia made for the perfect background!
