All the Canna Indica flower & seed pod photos I have been posting have been from one variety. These next few are from another. What is really seen is a bright red flower and with that artist part of me I played around & dropped out the red pixels in photoshop to see what I could get. ©Craig L Haupt

Because of getting settled into the fall semester photo course I haven’t done any personal photography for the past month, so it was nice to get some time at a friend’s house/garden to take some pictures. Yesterday’s post of the seed pods and over the next few days are these photos.©Craig L Haupt

This is the second of the two portrait photographs I staged with Miss Rabbit as my model for the class assignment journal. This one was a little more complex in its construction. I extend a heartfelt ‘thank you’ to Miss Rabbit for her two days of patience in getting this shot. ©Craig L Haupt

For the camera stuff class we are encouraged to provide additional photos of our own supporting what we have learned for a Journal entry. Since I had no large studio nor live model to work with, I created my own set-up and asked Miss Rabbit to help me out. First of two. ©Craig L Haupt’.

From the August grouping of photos. The Canna Indica flower, once the flowers have dropped, creates seed pods. This is the early/first stage of the pods. ©Craig L Haupt Again because of the exterior walls of the house I used a piece of mat board to take away those background distractions.

After the flowers of the honeysuckle drop off, the berries emerge. For those unaware, please don’t consider eating these as most types are not for human consumption and considered poisonous to varying degrees) ©Craig L Haupt

While most of the plants in the pot had been ravaged for their consumption and only a few caterpillars hung around for any meagre remains. This was one that would provide a plausible photo opportunity and managed to get this particular photo to my liking for photo processing.© Craig L Haupt

I have posted 4 photos pertaining to ‘Still Life’ set-ups. There is a fifth, this one, that I want to post now. I am setting up to do a series of Still Life/portrait photos so I wanted to get this one posted so it wouldn’t interfere with the newer series later. Catching Marbles © Craig L Haupt

I wanted to post this photo of 3 caterpillars I took on Monday as a sort of a ‘reward for the effort’ photo, given the 50 plus shots needed (several different angles) as swaying branches by continuous bursts of wind and movement of the caterpillars posed quite a challenge. © Craig L Haupt

An odd capture of the bee. It is not AI. With wings beating fast enough paired with the cameras shutter speed the wings were not picked up in the shot. Still I like him coming in for a landing to get a little nectar. © Craig L Haupt

Aug photo: There will be a few variations of this flower going forward. Note, when taking this and several other photos at this flower bed, there was a house with block wall behind them. To eliminate this unwanted background, I held a piece of black matboard behind the subject © Craig L Haupt
