Black Eyed Susan(Rudbeckia hirta)
Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 28 July 2008 in Plant & Nature.
This is the first year I've grown this Rudbeckia. I believe it is "Indian Summer," but am not positive. It is larger and coarser than the normal Black Eyed Susans, but, it lasts a long time in a vase and makes a lovely display in the garden.
Taken outdoors, tripod, macro lens.

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.
