Bloodroot

Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 8 April 2009 in Plant & Nature.

This year I got to the Bloodroot before they fully opened.

*****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.

Lovely. Good job with what I assume is the new camera. Your backgrounds are like soft pastels, by the way.

I would imagine you had to get "down on your belly" to capture this wonderful image. Great composition; photographed from a perfect point of view.
