Dahlia
Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 4 October 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
One of the many gorgeous Dahlias at a recent Dahlia show at Longwood Gardens, Pennsylvania, USA. I got there early to avoid the crowds, which was a good idea as by 11 a.m. there were too many people to work freely. Taken in the conservatory, natural light, macro lens, tripod.
*****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.

Superbes couleurs !
j'aurais vu un cadrage plus décalé à droite pour en pas coincer le coeur de la fleur en haut/gauche
