White Dahlia

Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 8 October 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

I APPRECIATE ALL THE COMMENTS I'VE RECEIVED ON RECENT IMAGES :-)

Another image from the Dahlia Show at Longwood Gardens, Pennsylvania, USA. Indoors, tripod, macro lens, natural light.

*****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.

Excellent image. You have done a fine job keeping detail in the whites. I like the yellowy-green tinge. Beautiful DoF.
