Photography practice

I spent some time today at Carleton Growers photographing their winter stock. With the brilliant sunshine and the controlled atmosphere in the green houses it was a very pleasant way to practice. The green house paneling and piping has a tendency to be in the background from almost every perspective and you don’t have a lot of room between the boxed beds to manoeuvre. As a result I found myself in some contorted positions while using the shutter timer, live view and a hand held flash. A tripod with a swing post would be an asset trying to reach out into the centre of a flower bed. I hope to go back regularly and build a portfolio as their season comes on line.
