Reaching for the Sun



Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Nikon 18-70
f/8 at 1/40
ISO 100

Flowers are everywhere especially in Spring and Summer. I have taken lots of pictures of flowers over the years. For this shot I decided to shoot them looking up from below.

This viewpoint helps to make this picture a little different because we don ‘t usually focus on the bottom of a flower, we usually look at them from the side or straight down into the centre where the stamens reside.

The other thing I like about this point of view is the fact that the petals become backlit by the sun which changes their colour and makes them almost glow.
