Away

Posted by Mei Mei in Mei Mei Takes Over

My sister is currently away, thus my sister’s younger sister will be taking care of this site for a few days.

OK.. Let’s get things started. About a week ago, I mentioned to my sister that I will not be taking any pictures of flowers (because of my horrible photography skills) - even if I do, I will not be posting here, but looks like I have to ignore what I’ve said because… I realised my skills are not that bad after all. What do you think?


The ‘What is the name of this” flower

I hope it looks good to you. Come, tell me what do you think of this shot. Encouragements are welcomed :)

*teeheehee*

    I like it, it’s a very nice shot of the flowers :)
    Not sure what they are called, zinnias?

    These are marigolds. I’ve planted many of them before. There’s a huge color variation and size as well. Very pretty and hardy flower :D

    Not bad at all but if you are using a DSLR then it could be better still. What camera are you using?

    it looks like you are getting better at photography, I like the focus you have on this one

    The picture is quite nice for someone that says she can’t take pictures of flowers, the focus is good and I have no idea as for the name of the flower as I really suck in it.

    You did a great job on this marigold!! Take more flower pictures you will only get better.

  11. Will Posted on March 27th, 2008 at 12:45 pm

    Yes, that is the yellow “Inca” variety of Marigold. Nice shot too!

    This pictures gives me the “here but not here” surreal feeling. The nearer flower is a representation of the self, while the other has a distant and cold feeling, like our anima/animus.

    I Think, It’s Very Nice… :right:
