Sedum stars

by Carolyn Derstine

Gallery: FloraPosted September 19, 201183 views7 comments
This variety of sedum is blooming now in my flower beds. The flowers are quite small across (about 1/4") but I think they are beautiful and deserving of a closer look. This was taken "on site" so to isolate this grouping from the rest of the flowers growing all around it, I wrapped black velvet around the stem below the area I wanted to highlight.

Canon Rebel T1i. 90mm macro lens. F/25 for 2.5 sec. ISO 100. Tripod mounted. Remote shutter release. Natural lighting with a little assist from an LED flashlight.

Carolyn, Stunning depth of field. Great use of the narrow aperture :toast: - I like the composition with the implied triangle the most.
