This photo captures a vibrant orange marigold adorned with raindrops, its delicate petals glistening against the lush green foliage in the background. I was inspired to take this photograph by my love for nature and the beauty found in fleeting, quiet moments outdoors. Marigolds have always drawn my attention with their bold colors and intricate textures, and the addition of fresh raindrops felt like the perfect opportunity to highlight their resilience and grace.

I used my Canon EOS 80D for this shot, l24-70mm lens. To achieve the soft bokeh in the background and make the marigold the focal point, I set a wide aperture, around f/4.0. The lighting was all-natural, and I chose a moment with soft, diffused light—probably during an overcast morning or late in the day—to bring out the rich, saturated colors while avoiding harsh shadows. I kept the ISO low to preserve detail and adjusted the shutter speed to account for any slight movement caused by the breeze or my hands.

Discover the Beauty of Texas and Beyond. My name is Bigitte Blanchette Thompson, a freelance photographer based in Austin, Texas, specializing in landscape, nature, and outdoor photography. My passion for photography was shaped by years of hiking and exploring over 21 Texas state parks with my daughter and 85-year-old mother. These shared adventures through the Texas Hill Country have taught me to slow down, see deeper, and capture the moments that connect us to nature and each other.

My portfolio includes photography from Germany, Mexico, Wisconsin, Michigan, Florida, Arizona, New Mexico,...
