Photography: Iris Clump


Iris Clump, originally uploaded by emmacuesta.

The Irises I planted four years ago are finally blooming. In fact, most of my backyard is blooming. I'm working on a photo project called "My Backyard" to photograph all the things that grow and fruit in our garden.

This is a tiny iris from South America, and is tiger striped at the center.

I love that first one! And the orchids. My mother grows them and I'm always taking pictures. I use a Nikon, but also a couple of good point and shoots.

I'm so glad I'm not the only camera hog in the Universe!I have two film Nikons, the digital, plus a full set of one of the oldest SLRs of them all, the Minolta SRT 101, which I still use from time to time, believe it or not. Three bodies, four lenses and filters.

Nope, you are not.

The 35mm is not exactly mine but I usually the only one who uses it. I use mostly to shoot B&W which is hard to find a place to develop it.

Older film cameras are always fun to play with. I have an older digital that I sworn that I wouldn't use again. The casing is flimsy and the shots were not that great with it.

Than I got my 1st Canon digital and it has been love ever since.
Forgot to add that one to the list so 5 Canons.
