I took some shots of these magnolias on the way home today. There are these 4 or so magnolia trees in front of the local elementary school that I walk past each day. (At least, I hope they are magnolia trees, otherwise this title is WAY off.)
I started in aperture priority mode, but the stuff was turning out too dark, so I switched it up to manual mode to over expose a bit, so I could get the details of the flowers in front of the dull gray sky. I took a few then got progressively more and more overexposed. I like the effect of the flowers. They look like they are floating in a bright white cloud or something.
