As I was waiting for a client to arrive at Longwood Gardens yesterday, so I spent some time photographing a few beautiful red tulips that appeared to be floating in a patch of yellow tulips and daffodils. I captured lots of images that I was really happy with, and I hadn’t even gone inside yet. There is something special about red tulips and red poppies. I don’t even love the color red unless it has tons of blue in it, but I was struck by this one in particular. I used my Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II Mirrorless Micro Four Thirds Digital Camera and my Olympus ED 12-40mm f/2.8. I still love this combo for flower photography. It’s lightweight and a breeze to shoot crazy angles with, especially since I seldom use a tripod anymore.
Longwood Gardens has done a fantastic job with their tulips this year. There are loads of varieties and colors, they seem to go on forever. They also have a lot of delphiniums in the conservatory—so pretty! Even though they had construction going on it did not affect us at all.
I want to say a special thank you to everyone that has taken the time to write to me, posted on Facebook about my Forever Stamps. Or have sent me beautiful gifts or have had promotional items made for me. Thank you, thank you , thank you. You are all terrific and I appreciate every kindness, truly.
Big hugs,
Denise
