Crocus saga #2

Gallery: FloraPosted February 10, 2012661 views10 comments

We're now getting some winter weather as two day cold snaps ride through on a mix of rain, snow, and sometimes ice. This crocus clump included the flower that I posted earlier, but that bloom is gone. This was taken yesterday morning. (5D, 100mm macro, 1/125 s, f/16, iso 800, tripod and cable release)

Beautiful side lighting and rich, full colors. You've just given me my first twinge of spring fever and the snow is just starting to pile up out side. wonderful detail and an all around great image.

Mark: I love the low light here and how the buds are lit up against the dark BG. This is a very well composed shot.

Mark:
Nice lighting and beautiful color in the crocus. Like the environmental setting. The drops are refreshing. Hope you get warmer weather back again.

All you guys and gals shooting in strong lighting conditions are making me rethink my rigid aversion to midday sun. Well done.
