Flower boy?
Actually, I tend a little more toward wildlife photography than wildflower photography. But the way my schedule is looking this may be the only spring photograph I get… -I needed something for mother’s day anyway.
I found this pink trillium in a local park and added a sb-800 with a 3/4 CTO gel to give it just a bit of punch -although if I did it again I probably would lay off the color a bit. I was using a Nikkor 70-300 ED which actually is a pretty smart little lens for doing this sort of thing. It is close focusing and allows for a nice working distance. The downside is when you are working at 300mm and f:5.6 max the slightest breeze kills sharpness. This one is close but not quite sharp. Next time maybe.
