It's too easy to overlook the photo opportunity just outside the front door. Quite literally, in this case – every Spring I mean to photograph the blossoming crab apple trees lining the path by my front door, walking by day after day, thinking "I must come down with the macro lens and see what I can make of this", then letting the days slip by until the opportunity is lost for another year.
Then, at a portraiture class on Sunday afternoon, I found myself shamefully out of practice with spot metering and manual exposure settings. I drove home determined to refresh my manual photography skills at the first opportunity. And there were the flowering crab apples...
I was thinking of Chinese flower paintings and watercolours on heavy, absorbent paper. And Spring, of course.
