Here are the two photos I shot specifically for this assignment, plus two pictures from my portfolio that I thought were bright and beautiful and went well with the idea of “shore” and “mansions”.

Thank you @blessingscaptured!

Here are two from my portfolio and so far, one new. I went out when there was dew on the grass to get some bokeh. I also stopped down a little bit to insure that the clover was totally in-focus.

Here’s a bright photo I thought would go along with the lyrics, “When we meet out blessed Savior on that peaceful shore.”

A new thing that I learned in a resent Nature Friend magazine was to not have your flower stems exiting the frame. So for the gladiolus I held up some leaves to provide some foreground blur and to cover the stem. Then first day I tried it I realized you can only do so much with just two hands. So another evening I used my tripod and the 10 sec timer so I could get the leaves in place. I like how the technique adds depth.

With the cross and yellow flowers, something seems off with the colors; I just can’t tell what.

When I was photographing the sunflower, I noticed a big difference when I exposed for the sunflower instead of simply exposing for the whole picture.
It was difficult for me using live-view (I don’t have a viewfinder) to have the sun in the frame and to block the sun with the subject. It was hard to frame the shot with the glare.

Here are my two pictures from my portfolio. The baby’s breath was taken in the evening. It’s hard for me to get my pictures sharp in the evening when it’s starting to get dark.
