We hit the Wooden Shoe Tulip Fest today with Megan and Avery. What an awesome way to spend a few hours. You can't be near fields of beautifully colored tulips and not feel happy. Plus, we got to ride in cow carts over very bumpy farm land - seriously, the farm was SO bumpy they had warning signs - and eat the equivalent of carnival food. Of course, there were pictures...

On the photography front, the weather was so bright I had to set the ISO to 100 (it's the lowest setting I've got), the aperture to f/16 to f/13 (for most shots, some were at f/11) and increase the shutter speed to, well, really fast. All to get the light coming in down to a manageable level. Since Mexico is less than a month away and we expect the weather down there to be excellent, I may have to switch the lens on the camera and work on either the aperture priority or shutter priority modes to get good shots.

Beautiful pictures! So bummed we missed out, again. It looks like it was cloudy, which I think is much tougher to accommodate for than sunny, so I bet your Mexico pics will be fine. As always. :)
Love the pictures of the tulips--almost as much as those cute little toddlers. The inside of the tulip looks like a spider.
Really pretty pics! What a fun day amidst flowers!
Somehow I miss this every year . . . it looks beautiful and great pictures!
