April - Trumpets

Is a model release on file if needed? (Yes/No/NA)

NA

When and where was the photo taken?

This photo was taken on July 4th of this year at my in-laws' house.

Photo Description

I was trying to shoot some bees that were gathering pollen from the trumpet plant when the color of the flower just took over the photo. The vibrant colors of the orange and green and their contrasts make them a great representation for the month of April. This is the time of year when our area of the country is in full bloom and everything just seems to be so "alive"!

Advice

  • Look beyond the obvious - what you intend to shoot in the beginning may not always turn out to be the best photo.
