Default Another Flower Shot...

I am just fascinated with my neighbors yard. They keep catching me hanging around with my camera jammed too close to some flower or other. They are nice about it though...

For this one, I think I had a extension tube attached. Can't remember because I took so many with it on and off plus it was too windy with the extension tube on.

Sunflower Series: Yeah Baby

Post production consisted of reducing the exposure levels.

Camera: Sony DSLR-A350
Exposure: 0.04 sec (1/25)
Aperture: f/16.0
Focal Length: 90 mm
Exposure: 0.00
ISO Speed: 1600
Exposure Bias: 0 EV
Flash: Off, Did not fire

What a spectacular capture. Love the perspective and the detail is just amazing. It looks like the petals are just hanging on.

I like how the background is stark white, nothing to distract from the details and beauty of this image!!
