They Bloomed

  

    I got home from work about 10:30pm, I

could tell they were just about to open. I

thought I would have to wait until midnight

but they were full open by 11:30.

     OMG, the picture does not even begin to

do them justice. I wish that I could share the

smell as well, it is sooo lovely smells like an

island night. Mmmm ...

     I had trouble getting a good shot. My macro  setting did not

 work in the dark, no flash. I took quite a few shots and I was not

 happy with any of them so I picked one of the flowers and brought

 it inside to take this  photo on macro.  Any suggestions on getting a clear, close

up photo at night?

    No faults Mumsy, the photo is great. Just wondered if any one had tips on getting a good night shot, up close.

Found you by way of the Editors Pick --Congrats!!  You take *gorgeous* photos.  Wish I could help you with your question about taking night photos.  I'm not that good at taking pics.

I so love the alleyway pic from St. Thomas.  I was sitting here thinking I could *live* in that alleyway its so beautiful!

I will definately be visiting your journal regularly now.  You've done a fantastic job.

Beautiful flower!
I have a night setting on my camera. If the pic turns out too dark..I go to picture edit on my photp site. I can lighten the picture there and save it.

Great journal!
