Two Women One Mission Photography: Tulip Festival

Saturday, April 14th, Heather and I took a trip up to the Skagit Valley to see the tulips in bloom during the Tulip Festival that happens during the month of April. Heather had never been. I had been once but it was before I understood how actually take a picture with correct exposure. We hoped that we could go on a day that was overcast, which honestly was not that big of a wish, but it ended up being very sunny. I was not used to shooting in such bright light and took a minute for me to get my adjustments but I think over all I got some good results.

I have not done a lot of large landscape photography. Heather is stronger at that than I am. I think that is why we work well together. She can see the larger picture where I am able to zoom in on one super small part of the larger picture. It is a strong combination that I cannot wait to showcase from our project come September. However, it was good to practice trying to get the landscape picture while up at the festival.

It was very busy and it was enjoyable seeing other photographers out there with their equipment. This trip made me excited for September. Washington is such a beautiful state! Here are some images that were taken at the Roozengaarde Tulip Gardens.
