That delicate pressure applied while this flamingo was preening was too good to pass up.
The reference photo was taken from my visit to the Indianapolis Zoo last month
Playing a bit of catch up. I knew I would have these days so have salted some pre made pieces into the process. This one I went on to watercolor and it now hangs in my sunroom.
A project has been selected (a theme), my nieces are prepared and zoom meetings scheduled, content has been collected! I am ready!
In the meantime, I have already started playing around with some of the content and watercoloring it. I may do a different image of the flamingos for October. Let us hope I can keep on task – I keep getting sidetracked into watercolors as I choose my images.
A recent foray to the zoo convinced me that the most difficult photography subjects there are the flamingos! Beautiful in their purposeful movements, yet oddly difficult to focus on. This is my year of getting back into my photography and learning the ins and outs of my digital DSLR. Fun stuff!
