Magnolias Are Go!
The time has come; the magnolias here are in full bloom:
Olympus Stylus 1s, 60mm, ISO100, f8, 1/640s
Olympus Stylus 1s, 220mm, ISO100, f8, 1/1000s
Also available in pink:
Olympus Stylus 1s, 28mm, ISO100, f8, 1/500s
And, um, dark pink:
Olympus Stylus 1s, 42mm, ISO200, f8, 1/100s
Olympus Stylus 1s, 220mm, ISO100, f5.6, 1/800s
Just a side note: all these colours probably have new-fangled and esoteric names like cerise, mauve, taupe, aubergine, coral, bisque, and so on, but as I am a man, I don't know these names, so I only use proper colour names. Women!
Wonderful photography
Jajaja for us the men always will be white and pink, the ranges of colors do not go with us xD ... precious photos
Magnolia and cherry blossoms are used in Asia for great street decoration.
Real men know the names. :-))
We may have a difference of opinion on what real men are.
Such a beautiful magnolias!!!
About colors, even if I'm a woman and I'm an artist too, I have some problems with their names that sometimes looks like really strange :P
Good to hear 8-). Strangely, I do know many of the pigment colour names used in oil paints, like burnt umber and raw sienna.
When I read the name of colors of my (many) tubes of oil, I understand that the names of colors are really strange :D
I used to read these names on the tubes as a child when my father was painting, maybe that's why I remember them.
Wow.. beautiful flowers..
They put on a great show! Last week I saw a confused Magnolia tree that had about 10 out of season blooms on it.
Unusual weather or did it go off its meds?
If anything it's been unusually wet an cool.
