I guess I’m a bit of a flower child at heart, or I just keep finding interesting flowers to shoot..:-)
The full flower is a Dhalia and the bud I’m not sure of.

Skywatch Friday

I thought I’d give this a try, I took these yesterday in Sweet Springs Missouri after an evening of pounding thunderstorms in Illinois. Unfortunatly for me by the time I got to Kansas this evening all the lightning storms had moved out, maybe next time..:-)

Macro Monday

Posted in Macro, Photography, flowers with tags , on June 8, 2009 by Ed

DSC_3996It was a fun day yesterday and I got alot of good shots and many ideas for later posts. So here are the first from my trusty 105mm Macro lens. All were taken at ISO400, F 2:8, and varied shutter speeds in Aperature priority mode.. A cool fact is the yellow flower had black leaves and was just plain wierd.
Later..Ed
