Recently I have bitching a lot about not having enough light when photographing. But I have been trying to work with the low light to create nice looking pictures. Here is a few photos from a recent photo session.

This is the same flower as in the other recent post with pictures on a red rose. This time it is presented in a much better light.

I didn't think these photos would look good at all. I did two test shots and decided that I didn't have enough light, so I gave up on photographing them. Not until I look at the two pictures later on my computer did I change my mind. Although they look dark I think the photos look good and interesting.

Thing are overall going great and my balcony is looking nice. Most of the flowers from Project Summer flower 2009 have been moved to their permanent pot and spot and some new flowers have moved in. Unfortunately most of my photos on the balcony didn't turn out that great, but I don't feel like reshooting them so I'm using them anyway. I want to post this little report as soon as possible.

In the upper half of my shelf I now have three French Marigold and two new flowers. The two new plants are both birthday gifts. The plant with the blue flowers is a Hydrangea and the one with the yellow flower I don't know what it is.
