Mums the Word

[AlanLichty]

'Tis the season for Chrysanthemums (A.K.A. mums) and there was a nice setup in front of a grocery store I visited yesterday. I couldn't resist grabbing a shot on my way into the store.

C&C always welcome.

Hmmm.... while Mum might be the word, I think I would have a hard time not talking about these beautiful flowers!

Thanks Jim - These blooms grabbed my eyes on the way into the store so I decided I had to yank out my iPhone for a few snapshots. They haven't had anything that really interested me for a few months now so it was a nice change of pace.

I really like the “hdr”/ethereal feel! It works great with these.

Between your own yard and the grocery store, you have some beautiful closeups of beautiful flowers.

Do you use your linear profile in your iphone for these?

Thanks Alex - the blooms in the pots are actually multicolored but I liked this framing of the image with just the one color blooms.

Thanks Darrell - the grocery store displays have been a bit bland lately so this was a pleasant change. I usually do use a linear profile in Lightroom but in this case I liked the colors using the Apple ProRAW profile so I left it alone. That profile is usually a bit too punchy for my tastes but in this case the default profile worked out.

Alan, for some reason I just can not take my eyes of this photo.

Love it.

Very pretty, Alan.

Very pretty, Alan.

Thanks Doug - I should probably buy one of these pots some day instead of just shooting images while wandering past them

Thanks Peter - I just went past those same plant stands this morning and there weren't any worthwhile blooms to shoot.

now that's awesome work. How you turned a store display into a beautiful picture is art at its finnest.

Thanks - I always slow down to see what's out when I go to that store any more
