Clouds While at Shopping Centers

 Love to take images of clouds at different times of the day and different locations.  Shopping malls are a great place as more of the sky visible unlike residental areas that have trees or wires.  These were taken in Greensboro, NC, in the afternoon.   Taken with iPhone 6S but images only downsized.
I have joined a Facebook group: Cloud Nine Photography.

Fringe Tree (Shrub) and Altered Art

Image
Image on left is a Fringe Tree/Shrub (Chionanthus virgini.cus).   It blooms in the spring.  I love the texture of this plant. I did  adjust highlights & shadows. For the image on the right I used the invert filter in PSE 15 to make this abstract design. Because the original colors were green and white, this changed to purple and black.  Looks like something a painter might have painted but only took a few minutes with a press of the mouse to change.  Will use this for camera club presentation in May: "Inspired by Trees & Shrubs" as well post to Facebook or Instagram.

Bromeliads & Macro Poinsettia

Image
In December in NC there are not as many opportunites to photograph flora.  The image on the left was taken at Lowe's in the indoor plant section   Bromeliads are a plant that needs to be a house plant in the winter months for our plant zone.  I went to a poinsettia open house in King, NC, and took pictures of a lot of varieties of poinsettias.  The image on the right I intentionally wanted to capture the center flowers as a macro. The  modified colored leaves are actually bracts. Green leaves are below the bracts.  Images taken with my iPhone XR - no post editing. With indoor lighting you can not always get the best light.
