Location
These cornflowers were in abundance along the Jordan Creek. Seen on the trail at Covered Bridge Park, Allentown, PA.Time
Mid-afternoon.Lighting
The subtle indirect light coming through the dense vegetation along the creek created the perfect mood I was looking for. I liked it and went with it.Equipment
Camera: Panasonic Lumix FZ300 (hand held).Inspiration
These flowers seem to portray a variety of emotions. Here we see one flower of bright yellow petals, reaching upward in a winsome, joyful-looking pose, while its wilting neighbor depicts sadness. The blurry, happy bloom in the distance appears to be spelling out, "YAY!"Editing
