I went with my sister to the Lilifest that she attends every year. This was my first time going and I decided to bring along my camera. I am glad I did as I got some really great shots of the flowers.
I have used a light box with various colored fabric. Black is great. I have used for years a large magnifying glass in front of the lens and it does wonders for close ups of jewelry. I started using this method about 12 yrs ago with an HP point and shoot and I still use the same method today. Hope this helps its just what I do.
Thanks everyone for your comments. I will get back there on a sunny day and get more pics. I also want to get some shots up river so I can get the side of the bridge.
I never really noticed the structure of the bridge till yesterday. The bridge will be replaced in a couple of years and I am sure it will not hold the appeal of this old one.
