Greeting The Evening Sun

Description

The last rays of the setting sun washed over these Hosta blooms in our backyard...the way they faced westward, seemed to me like they were bidding the sun good night until tomorrow...I knew this display would last only a few moments so I rushed for my camera and went frantic with the settings :)...I took several straight shots until I decided on a multiple of ten exposures...

Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: -0.67, ExposureTime: 10/600 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 200, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 200.00 mm, Model: NIKON D300
