The best time of the year!

If I were to name my favorite time of year, it would be summer. Warm weather and more hours with sun add to a great picture. Summer is the time when flowers are blooming, the grass is green, and kids are at play. The possibilities of things to photograph in the summer are endless. One of my favorites is flower shots. The summer is the best time to take flower pictures. Just barely bloomed and fresh flowers make great pictures. You don't get any of the brown droopiness that comes with the flowers as the season ends and the temperature drops. I'm not saying that fall and winter are bad because I would say those are some of the most popular shots. However, it's hard to find a beautiful flower mid winter that's not buried in snow and dead. Enjoy the summer time and document it with photos. Remember photography isn't easy and just because you might have something amazing doesn't mean it's easier to photograph.

A lot of people think that when you have grand scenery, such as you have in Yosemite, that photography must be easy.
