Stole a hour or so this morning to go out and make a few images. (More of my time is being taken up by my elderly mother who fell recently and broke her hip. She has had surgery and is on her way to rehab - don't know for how long. So what precious little time I had has suddenly been cut into.)
Anyway, I didn't find anything terribly unusual down along my local creek but did come across quite a few Wild Geraniums (of course we have them in our native plant garden in the backyard but it's not quite the same!).
Image made using my Canon 30D; Sigma 150mm macro lens; Canon 430 EX Flash w/ LumiQuest Softbox mounted on a flexible flash bracket; tripod-mounted w/ Novoflex Focusing Rail. Conditions were breezy and exposures long so I used a McClamp to steady the flower. Background is a stream. Conditions were overcast.
1/2 sec @ f/22; ISO 100; -1/3 EV; FEC -1
