Flower Garden Camera Practice

After doing some work with the light box yesterday morning, I decided to get outside in the afternoon with my Kodak Z1012 IS Easyshare camera. Looking for an easy target, I grabbed some shots of a few of the wife's lovely flowers.

Grabbed a shot of the above, I think they are called Blacked Eyed Susans. They remind me of sunflowers, which I like as well. We didn't plant any sunflowers but may next year. This one is my favorite flower picture in the post.

I do believe the flowers above are called Cathedral Bells Rose. I may be wrong though. I had to use Google to look them up because the wife is not here while I am writing to ask. If they are not, let me know in the comments.

Now, here are some more I had to look up and they seem to be Moss Rose Purslane. All of the above flowers are a part of my mother-in-laws memory garden. There are more flowers in it, but these are the best looking ones. The heat this summer has really done a number and it has been a challenge to keep our flowers alive this year.

Had a shot of my big sweetie Bailey already on the camera, so thought I would close with her. She is my dearest friend.

Now that I have some practice in with the Kodak Z1012 IS, I plan to use it for my next light box session. I will be curious to see how those turn out. I don't think I did too bad with these.

What is your favorite photo and why? Any recommendations?

Thanks for reading,
Joe
