Clematis Macro
Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 26 September 2008 in Plant & Nature.
I recently bought this lovely fall blooming Clematis and planted it next to a spring blooming one. The photo does not do justice to this gorgeous flower.
*****THANK YOU FOR VISITING ANITA'S PHOTOBLOG!*****
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.
@Terri: Thank you, Terri. I appreciate your comments and your visit. :-)

Beautiful Anita. I would love to see it in person as I think that this photo is pretty sensational.

Another beautiful image. I just love the way you take your macros. You have an exceptional eye for colour and just how much 'sharp' detail is needed.

Those colors are just stunning, and your DoF is magical. A beautiful abstract photo - well done....

Another shot that takes advantage of just a small structural detail amidst a beautiful wash of color.
