Tulips at Thanksgiving Point, Lehi, Utah
I shot almost everything at the last Photowalk with either Cokin's Dreams or Pastel filter, sometimes both. For this one I used the Pastel 2 filter, and a very shallow depth of field (3.5). Because of the 20 mph wind, I cranked up the ISO to 400, which gave me a shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. That's stop action even for waving tulips.
A newbie to our Photowalking tribe posted a message advising that we reschedule - I'm glad we didn't. Our group is not about getting the perfect shot, just having fun, and why would I put that off for a week? So the newbie didn't come, but we adopted some other folks that we met, and now we have new friends. And that's why Photowalking Utah is the best dang group of photogs around.

I love this photo. The soft-focus style is pretty neat.
I wish I was a better photographer.

Great shots from the walk. It is always amazing to me how many flowers can come up in one week's time! Truth be told I would have been there had I not been in between cameras - my new 40D arrived Tuesday so I hope to catch up with you all next time. Have a wonderful weekend. :)
