Red Maple Flowers
Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 26 February 2008 in Plant & Nature.
I cut some branches from a red maple tree and brought them indoors to "force," speed up their development. Here is a photo of their flowers taken indoors with light from the setting sun coming in the window. I used a macro lens with a 1:1 adaptor filter, and a tripod. Each flower is about 3/4 inches from top to bottom.

I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.
If I have made a mistake in a flower identification, please let me know!
A few words about the EXIF data, beginning in April when I began using Nikon D300 and the Sigma 105mm macro: My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site.

very pretty - the lighting and depth of field are great. The black background really makes the color pop as well. Very pretty....
