Fiery Flower

Uploaded: August 04, 2010

Description

Thanks for your reception of yesterday's efforts. One more. I moved this day lily from the side of the house to the front and one of its petals fell off giving this cross-section opportunity so I shot it. Fooling around with the Fractalius filter I came up with this firey version. Wierd thing is the next day the lily had closed the gap. Nature is very cool, n'est-ce pas?

Again if anyone would like the setting for the filter, let me know.
f/16, 1/25, 100mm macro, ISO 100, tripod

Exif: F Number: 16, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/25 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 100.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark II

That's an "electrifying" use of the filter, Marty. Restrained yet dramatic. And of course you started with a beautifully framed and exposed image and excellent use of light. #8822844
