As the Wind Blows

The wind was blowing the flowers more than I wanted. I was complaining about the wind and my wife somewhat sarcastically remarked "Let it blow." That gave me the inspiration I needed for this photo. I used a speed light to stop the motion for a split second and let the wind take care of the rest. The exposure was f/32 at 1/8 second. The lens was a Canon 180mm macro with a macro speed light attached to the front of the lens. Taken using a tripod.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.

I do, I understand.
