Announcement: We are going back to 7 day contests regardless of how many people enter (as evidenced by round 6) Steve and I will continue to offer these contests up for the next several weeks.

Round Seven...

The one topic that I freaking hate. I hate flower pictures but let's be honest... people love these. They sell well and photographers have made entire careers out of shooting these.

I'm probably in.

With film! Coincidentally, I shot flowers on film today. Don't know if I'll get them developed in time though.
 
I'm fairly new to the still photo page, so I don't know what you have done in the past. But I think it might be easier to make the photo contest every two or every three weeks instead of every week. It's gets to be a little too much getting shots in every week. Just my opinion.

Thanks for the opinion but we have done that in tbe past and we have decided that we are going to move ahead weekly.

If shooting in a week doesn't work for you then you don't need to enter that week.
 
I prefer every week. This is still photography, it shouldn't take you 3 weeks to get one decent shot.

Flowers are great. They really light up good when doused with gasoline and lit on fire. :)

Hah...I helped my friend do a shot like that for his b&w film contest.

We has such a hard time getting it to light (real windy), and when it finally did, it nearly blew our faces off.
 
This may be a little tougher than I originally thought. There's not much of anything for flowers here yet.

Horse, horse, horse... My friend... dude...

Tough? Well, just turn to www.google.com :)

I did it and found this

Which then led me to discover this:
The City of Mankato has been recognized many times for the beautiful flower gardens and landscaped areas at Sibley Park. The flower garden areas and gazebo have been popular for outdoor weddings and photography sessions.

Now, Sibley Park is located:

Sibley Park
900 Park Lane
Mankato, MN 56001

(507) 387-8649

...AND...

I found these images of Sibley Park:

Now, these aren't flowers... but you could always just pick up a dozen at Cub Foods
 
Jeremy - I was just there yesterday (it's one of my regular shooting spots) and there's really nothing there right now. It's pretty early in spring for us. We still had snow here a few weeks ago. I'll get something, though. There are lots of parks in town.
 
I was just screwing with ya brother... just had to throw you under the bus.

That actually seems like an awesome location...


Ummmm, I wish I had another location for you other than the gardens at Augsburg
