Description

After one and a half hours of waiting, light breezes ceased and I was able to capture the wild columbine in my backyard. Several clumps of these native species line the edge of woods near me. A passing shower left skies overcast, so a fill flash-1EV was used with a 400mm Sigma lens at f16 to hold some detail in most of the flowers. I shot from ground level
