I found this beauty in my back yard.
Tech Data: Sony NEX-6, Sony 16-50 zoom @ 37mm. 1/60th sec @ ⨏6.3, ISO 1000. Natural light with reflector, in shade.
This is actually 10 separate images, focused at different distances, all combined in Photoshop. This allows for extreme depth of field, putting everything is in focus from the pollen on the tips of the anthers and stigma, to the bottom of the flute, to the edges of the petals.
That flower is just beautiful and to think it is in your back yard. Beauty is surely all around us, guess we just have to take the time to look…..Joan
