Daylilies!

I'm still learning how to use my Canon T1i. On these shots, I used the standard kit lens (18-55mm) that came with my camera. I'm such a dork, as soon as my Daylilies bloomed, I ran out and took a bunch of photos. I'm sure my neighbors were wondering what on earth I was doing laying on the lawn, kneeling on the sidewalk, just to get different vantage points.

Then, it rained! So, of course, I couldn’t resist the chance to capture raindrops. The second it stopped, I ran out and took some more photos.

By the way, these are straight out of the camera. When I attempted to edit them, it just blurred the detail out, so I just left it alone.

I hope my Daylilies make you smile today :-) I love yellow!

I'd say you're a quick learner if those are the product of "just learning to use my T1i" :) Great job. They look amazing and the yellow is sure to brighten anyone's day....

Very pretty capture!! Well I think you are not alone, me too do that hehehe. I just be sure I am not at the edge of the road hahaha. One time we had this beautiful sunset, I ran without my shoes then lay down to get a good shot with the grass, but it's worth it!! Happy 4th of July!

These are fantastic shots. The color is so vivid and wonderful detail. The raindrops make them truly special. I never edit any of my photos. I think editing makes them look fake. I like them straight out of the camera with their complete reality displayed. Love these shots.

Yellow flowers are my favorite. Bright and cheery. Your shots are quite good. I envy you with a new camera. I have a basic point and shoot.

These are great, I love the after rain shots. I just got my first DSLR a few months ago and am still learning, but LOVING it!!!
What type of Editing software do you recommend? I am hoping to get some for my birthday in September.

Yellow is one of my two favorite colors! In fact, if I had to just one color, it would be yellow.

Beautiful flowers.
