I had a lot of fun in the greenhouse on the BYU-Idaho campus taking shots of beautiful flowers and greenery. It was difficult to narrow down my photos! The same thing happened at the zoo. Some of the animals seemed to pose for the camera. I'll probably post some more later. I used Camera Raw to enhance all the photos slightly. I used adjustment brushes to lighten the middle of the pansy, the peach flower, and the eye of the goat.

  1. These are great shots. You are a great photographer and I really like your large aperture shots. I really like your yellow flower shot. It is one of my favorite shots. My one suggestion is check your focus on the red plant. Besides that you did really good.

  2. Sarah,
    I fell in love with your photos. I can tell that your edits were perfect for each picture to bring out the subject a little more. The angles of your flower shots are awesome. I think my favorite is the flamingo. It really takes time and patience to get a shot like that.
