The other day, I took some shots of tulip or saucer magnolias (Magnolia x soulangeana to be exact) with different exposures.
For the first, I used the “correct” settings:
For the second, I changed the shutter speed for a different look:
Experimenting is so much fun in photography.
Finally, I’d like to wish a very Happy Birthday to my husband, the sweetest man I know. My life got better the instant we met, and I am forever grateful. I love you, honey.

Pearls & Prose 
Love the photos and the different exposures. Both offer unique perspectives in color.
Happy Birthday to “Mr. Pearl”. Great husbands are such a blessing. I’ve had mine for 28 years 🙂
Sending blessings your way on this special day, Jeanne
Thanks, Jeanne! I should probably call him “Mr. Prose.” 🙂
Happy Birthday to hubby and beautiful photos, as always!!
Thank you so much!

Same to you, Meri. 🙂
This is so cute.
And I love the pictures too. The second one makes them look like Japanese cherry blossoms.
I believe the tree in the background (first photo) is a weeping cherry, Caroline.
Aw. Happy birthday to your hubby. What a sweet sentiment. I’m so glad you two are so happy together.
Love the shots. Can’t wait to see magnolias in my town!
Thanks, Maura. Have a great weekend.
Beautiful…it looks like Sakura
Thank you, and welcome! Sakura is Japanese cherry blossoms?
Happy Birthday Mr. Pearl!
The second photo looks like … I don’t know, a Japanese painting? An English tea set?
