Purple Flowers

These are two purple flowers I took some photographs of.  The first is a Cat Claw Sensitive Briar.  These are wild and grow all over the north Texas area.  When you touch the leaves they will close.  I lined my shots up and turned the lights off.  I used a Canon MT-24EX flash unit to get the light.  When the lights off the only area illuminated where the areas the flash hit so it created a nice black background.

I have no idea what this second flower is.  But I thought it would make for some interesting photography.

Texas Bluebonnets

I took this pictures of Texas Bluebonnets in March of 2012.  The Bluebonnet pictures were shot with a Canon 5D Mark I camera and a Sigma 180 mm lens.  I also use the Canon MT-24EX twin flash unit.  I love taking photographs of Bluebonnets each year.
