Description

This shot was taken right after a rain storm. While there are no obvious raindrops there is a sheen from the wetness.

These florets and buds are very tiny and the entire floral can fit into the palm of my hand.

This was taken using my Sigma 100mm Macro Lens with the aperture set at 7.1 to obtain more detail.

Entered into Details and Macros.

Exif: F Number: 7.1, Exposure Bias Value: -1.00, ExposureTime: 1/800 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 150.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark II
