May 7, 2008; Day 5. The tulips in my front yard are peaking this week, so this morning I dashed out into the golden sunlight with my macro lens. It bothers me when an image looks better as a thumbnail than it does at full size. The histogram on this image looks bizarre to me (the red channel is blowing out and the blue channel is going black). I’ll be practicing macro photography as much as possible before my cherry tree blossoms, perhaps as early as this weekend.
