7/30/04 - Fleur de Jour

Brookside Gardens, Wheaton, MD

Once again, I don't know what this beggar is -- or even if it's healthy with those curling petals -- but I thought it was intriguing. The center looks like spaghetti sauce with a few stray noodles spilling out.

I swore I wasn't going to post flowers all the time -- or bugs, or pictures of my car keys, or parts of my body, etc. -- but they really do make for interesting photos (the flowers, anyway), and I learn a little (about my camera, technique, PhotoShop, or horticulture) each time. Maybe the keys and body parts should come next.

PS - Background replacement, slight curves adjustment, USM, frame.

Nikon D70 ,Sigma 100-300mm f4 EX
1/1000s f/8.0 at 195.0mm iso1000 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

Yeah, I did think about today being SPF -- after I posted the spaghetti pot. Guess I can't do a body part -- shucks. (Anyway, my body parts := not pretty picture.) On the other hand, I got some real lights & umbrellas over two weeks ago, and I've yet to set them up....
