Poppy & Parts

Kris brought me one of her beautiful red poppies and I had lots of fun taking it's picture.  The petals didn't even look real, more like the tissue flowers we use to make back in the day.  Looks like I might have to plant some of these for next year.  I mainly used my macro lens but then decided to try light painting, it is fun and frustrating all at the same time as you can never duplicate what you have done.  Just as you get one part of it right, you over expose another, but when you do get an image that works you jump for joy!
