Reaching for the sky "Agave univittata"

Uploaded: October 18, 2010 15:05:02

Description

This Agave is native to Mexico and is used as an ornamental in the USA. This is a very unusual POV to capture this plant that reaches for the sky but dies after it blooms. I shot this at F/13 in AV mode to get the DOF & sharpness all the way down.

Exif: F Number: 13, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/40 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 82.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS-1D Mark IV
