Back to Wildflowers
I finally found the time today to go shoot wildflowers. This large bunch of Duchmen's Britches were found in Busiek State Forest.

Canon 20D
ISO 100
100mm Macro + extension tube and polarizer
f/11 for 6 seconds

Thanks for looking

Wow, the blooms seem to be flying! Beautifully done Tim! :toast: :toast:

You Tim's (that's right all of you!) take incredible wildflower shots, I wonder what it would take to change my name!!! :biggrin:

I love Dutchman's Breeches! The first time I ever encountered them was deep in Richland Creek Wilderness. It was really windy THAT day, and it seems every time I've come across them since. Six seconds with this subject is quite impressive. They are so delicate, and you've captured them quite well.

Excellent Job! Thanks for posting.

Sorry Wayne. I don't think we need the other, other, other Tim. :confused:

I like it Tim. The light you had did a nice job of picking up the subtle contours around the "wings". Since I've always been pretty fond of the 4x5 aspect ratio, I might not have cropped the sides so much, but this still works well.

Lots of cameras are pointed at these guys this time of year - unfortunately mine hasn't been one of them. The place I usually find tons of them have'nt bloomed this year :frown: . Glad you were able to find some, and in such quantity! Thanks for sharing.
