The photographer’s height can have a huge impact on a photograph. For example … I am “vertically challenged” and have difficulty seeing down into the water lilies when they are in the center of the pond. Unless they are tilted toward me, I would need a ladder to photograph the centers of these flowers. A taller person may not have that issue at all. If you are photographing in a group and people stand in front of you, being tall is a clear advantage when you can see and shoot over their heads. Of course, the shorter folks are usually allowed to go in front … I like that!

I think this has quickly become one of my all-time favorite photos! Dad was photographing mom and baby in the sunflower field last weekend and I grabbed this quick photo when they turned around to admire the huge blooms.

You know that it’s high time to clean out the car when the Petunias that you bought and forgot about have turned it into a planter!

The lavender farm was teeming with photographers who were posing families, babies, friends … you name it … with the flowers! I saw a woman with a toddler and she was carrying this chair into the field with a plan in mind to photograph the baby seated in the chair right smack dab in the middle of the lavender plants. Before the little girl was brought into the scene, I took advantage of the few seconds that I had to grab a shot of just the empty chair and the flowers. I was shooting with a 70-200mm lens and this was probably shot at 200mm, thus the out of focus flowers in the foreground, which I love! This is my favorite image from the evening in the garden!

Summer is in full swing! While I don’t enjoy the heat and humidity, I do love having the opportunity to photograph all of the colorful flowers!
