It was an overcast day for El Segundo's Farmer's Market . . .

I still managed to find some beauty . . .

5. These beautiful flowers brought all the sunshine 🌞

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. I guess they did, and thank you for your beautiful thought, my dear Deuxcents!

6. Yes, you certainly did.

The thing I’ve always treasured about flowers, especially roses and others with deep, dense pedals and color is their ability to stand out even without bright sunshine. The pedals are so deep with color that they radiate even without bright light. Thanks. Your farmer’s market shots are always a treat.

12. Wow, my dear Biophilic! Thank you.

You explained something that I hadn't realized: how flowers with deep, dense petals radiate even without bright light.

I will remember.

7. Lovely photos .....

I’m drawn to the first one, especially …. something about the group together taken from up above. It’s very different and I like it! TY for sharing these, Peggy!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. Thanks so much, my dear Diamond_Dog!

I realized when I was setting up the shot, that from above would be very effective. I was very pleased when I saw my result.

My pleasure to share, always!

10. Overcast is good for shooting flowers. These are lovely!

The soft pinks and yellows in the first photo are sublime.

My first floral shots at Longwood on Tuesday were taken under a cloudy sky. The colors were richer than the floral shots I took under a clear sky in the afternoon. Overcast = No harsh shadows. On the other hand, my landscapes and tree shots benefitted from the late afternoon sun.

16. Thanks so much, my dear Mousetoescamper!

I'm so glad to have found that overcast is good for shooting flowers! That's going to be useful; our spring season tends to be very gray.

Sublime is a word I don't hear too often. Thank you for that.
