I had an hour to burn in the afternoon, so I scooped up my camera bag (with my tripod) and drove to Mill Run Park. I had been running there for the last week and had noticed how pretty the wildflowers (cough, cough … err, weeds) looked. I knew that if I waited until the weekend to try to take some pictures, they may not look as healthy as I might like, so I jumped at the opportunity when it presented itself.
In the end, I walked away with a few captures that I was happy with, but only 2 that I was ultimately satisfied with after post-processing revealed that some were not as sharp and I needed. This is partly blamed away by the gently breeze that was moving the flowers to and fro, but also my reluctant to use the tripod until I had to photograph the little blue flowers that were too close to the ground for me to hand hold.
So note to self: Just use the damn tripod.
