Floral Cocktail (with Photo Edit Tips) from The Yard

Spring Floral Photo Cocktails (with photo edit tips)

Still from our full bloom spring (was officialy still winter) yard. Actually, the yellow flowers have been replaced by dandelions and little purple cones-like flowers. I was sadly surprised because I was just about to take some pictures of them when the gardener had been doing the lawn so they are all gone now, nothing but a flat square of grass. Too late. Here the rest of beauties from our yard.

When photograph is an art,

from layers of memories.

We can fly above reality beyond imagination.

Colors on black shadows.

Living yellow carpet.

A pair of trusty old shoes and a vintage straw hat.

When the shadows meet the light.

Sometimes I try to understand the pattern of anything.

Zooming a mini world of its own.

Some of us stand out amongst the crowd.

I am submerged into the painting.

Selfie too hehehe, hello, sunny! Facing the hope and challenge.

Put my cam on the grass and run flat to wall
(Timer selfie tips: experiment putting cam on anything but be secure. I have destroyed my previous cam because of this)

Photo edit tips: when I have photos with a boring background, sometimes I mix-layer it with another photos. It is not ment to fake a double-exposure technique. I just play around as I like, erase some part, or add more elements until desirable effect is achieved. The result examples are the 4 first photos above.

See my style blog Naty Ponders for more photos of these series here : On The Yellow Carpet Under Sunshine.

Lastly...Happy a little bit belated Easter to you who celebrate and Happy Kartini Day to all women. Kartini is Indonesian peoneer in women's rights. She is our hero. Have a super inspiring day!
