Description


This is the first in what will be a series of entries for the monthy theme. My wife picked some petunias and placed them in a small glass vase. I used back lighting from the sun, through the kitchen window, and then took this picture into the heart of one of the petunias, where the stem met the flower petals. Since there was water covering the point of focus, I ended up with this nice soft blurred image. Sigma 50mm f2.8 EX DG macro lens.


Exif: F Number: 2.8, Exposure Bias Value: +0, Exposure Time: 1/50, Flash: flash did not fire, ISO: 100, White Balance: auto white balance, Focal Length: 50mm, Camera Model: Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XT
