Sunflower Showcase - Original Photography by Texas Contemporary Artist Denise Bossarte

Sunflower Showcase - Original Photography by Texas Contemporary Artist Denise Bossarte

I admit it... I LOVE sunflowers. Especially when back-lit by the morning sun.
Here is a sampling I shot this morning at the Houston Arboretum and Nature Center.
Yep, Houston has two arboretums and I love going to both of them.

These are taken with my new macro lens and my new camera,
which I am still learning how to use. 
Just found out today you can dynamically set the focus by moving the 
focus rectangle around on the LCD with your finger! How cool is that!!

Enjoy the Moment


Enjoy the process. Live within the moments of life. As you rush through situations you miss so much. Difficult places often come to slow you down. Then you can enjoy the whisper of butterfly wings, the water droplet atop a flower petal along with the words and smiles of others who touch your life.

There is beauty within the moment. Slow down and enjoy them. Don't rush the moment. Just as surely as you would cripple a butterfly if you caused it to come forth from its chrysalis too soon. So you cripple the simple joys and pleasures of life by rushing through them.

Look for the moments to be enjoyed. Breathe deeply the fresh air they leave behind. Embrace the joys and simple pleasures of life.

Continuing my work at Mercer Arboretum and Botanic Gardens 
 finding photos for a portfolio competition with my theme of
photographing flowers from the back rather than the front.

Even though it was an overcast day, this magenta beauty just glowed with front lighting.
I loved the contrast between the sharp lines in the petals and the soft contours of the stem.

I got a new camera this week so I took advantage of the slightly overcast weather to try it out. The roses are blooming in Hermann Park and were a perfect challenge for the new lens.
Really like the camera and the flexibility I have with the focus, even on basic camera settings.
Thanks to my husband for helping me purchase the new camera and lenses!!

Behind the Scenes M02 - Original Photography by Texas Contemporary Artist Denise Bossarte


Behind the Scenes M02 - Original Photography by Texas Contemporary Artist Denise Bossarte


Continuing my work at Mercer Arboretum and Botanic Gardens 
 finding photos for a portfolio competition with my theme of
photographing flowers from the back rather than the front.
Just loved the play of light on the petals and the shadows the 
overlapping petals made. Also a bit of spider web at the edges!
