Reach for the gold

by Carolyn Derstine

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted April 2, 2012124 views7 comments
We recently visited Morris Arboretum in Chestnut Hill, PA. It was an overcast day which was great for photography. This tree caught my eye with the bed of blooming Forsythia beneath it. I really liked the interesting needles and pine cone on this tree displayed against the gold background. More of an abstract spring photo.

Canon Rebel T1i. 90mm macro lens. F/2.8 at 1/100 sec. ISO 100. Tripod mounted, natural lighting.
