Made my first trip of the summer to the Ankley Family Farm in Imlay City, Michigan to photograph the flowers. It wasn't great conditions, to warm and sunny, plus a little wind.
I was hoping the Dahlias were blooming but only a few early season plants were flowering, and the larger ones come later in September, and I planned to come back again when those are in bloom.
The Zinnias were looking really good so got a lot of Zinnia shots.
Here are two of the rows I was working in.
Here is a before and after of my favorite Zinnia shot of the day.
I'll Share more images in future posts.
I've been mirroring a lot of my flower shots lately and really like the look I'm getting.
Today I used my Nikon D7000 and Tamron 18-400 lens.
Here is the image of the camera.
