Wild Lilac, Pt. Sur Lightstation, Big Sur Coast

In my latest blog: Photographing Wildflowers In The Wind At Garapatta State Park, I give you tips about shooting wildflowers in the wind.

If you wish to avoid the wind, try shooting at dusk or dawn (of course poppies won't be open then). I captured these wild lilacs after the sun had set on a calm evening along the Big Sur coast. Still had a bit of a breeze but I waited for the lulls.
