Poppy Light


 

BetterPhoto.com All Time Best Photo Contest Winner BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest SECOND PLACE Winner  
Poppy Light
Poppy Light
f5.6, 300mm lens, 12mm extention tube, tripod, Kodak E100 VS slide film. Taken at a local garden at sunset. The sun was coming from behind the poppy and shining right on those little hairs making them "pop" out. I wanted to make the red stand out, so I underexposed it by 1/2 stop to what the camera said was correct.

  Thank you Diane, Darren, Casey, Laura, Allan, Donna, Colette, Michael, Karen, K.S, Noel, Jill, Stacey, Jennifer, Terry, and Kathleen!!! I really appreciate your comments!

If you look really close, you can see a tiny cobweb going from the bottom of the poppy to the stem. I didn't notice it when I took the photo, but when the slides came back from the lab, there it was :) I think I might have caught a "home building" in progress *S*
