Passion Flowers

Uploaded: March 01, 2010

Description

1/6s at f/5.6 ISO 100 50mm macro lens.
I grew these passion flowers last summer and found them sitting in the archives just when I needed them most. I was reminded of them because I saw little green sprouts appearing from the passion plant I had brought in, tucked away in a back room and hoped to keep alive long enough to make it through to see another summer season...it is my first glimpse of spring and in the midst of power outages all over the area and winter still reminding us that it is not over until it says it is really over...this gives me a bright spot in my day.

Exif: F Number: 5, Exposure Bias Value: -0.70, ExposureTime: 1/50 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 50.00 mm, Model: DSLR-A700
