Phlox

Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 2 June 2009 in Plant & Nature.

I don't know much about these Phlox that appeared in my garden, but I sure do enjoy them. Taken outdoors, early morning.

*****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.

Ilove the very shallow DoF. The yellow center and the few dew drops stand out wonderfully surrounded by the delicate softness of this beautifully image. Way to keep those creative juices flowing, Anita.
