While May has been a difficult month to find a balance I have had some wonderful photography experiences. One such experience was finding this amazingly lit rhododendron, using my new lens hood and capturing the dramatic natural light as I intended to. School gets out in 15 days and I am so looking forward to many summer days filled with photography, learning and passion.
Settings: ISO 200, 55mm, ss1/250, f/5.6 (sunlight wb, lens hood)
