Title: Assignment 1 - A walk in the desert Post by: Scott Christopher on May 05, 2012, 04:29:31 PM The cactus are blooming in the desert. I took a hike and found these in a canyon north of the Phoenix area. Welcome any suggestions!

Of the three photos, I think the one containing the yellow blossom has the best composition. Did you consider taking this shot from slightly higher so more of the interior of the blossom can be seen? It is difficult for me to judge the time of day when these photos were taken but, based upon the shadows cast by the needles, I suspect it was around 10 AM. Considering the high contrast from the direct sunlight, you did a fine job. Does a diffuser produce too much shade to obtain good photos of cacti?

On the first one, looks like you needed a little more depth of field for the whole flower to be sharp. The other two look great.
