1/100 180mm f2.8 -2/3EV
I haven't blogged about a flower picture in awhile, so I'm due.
I got this shot not long after the leaf shot I posted a few days ago. There were several of these flowers along the path and i spent a good while taking shots from all different angles. This one I got while laying on the sidewalk shooting up toward the plant.
In Scott Kelby's first Digital Photography Book he makes a point of talking about how taking good flower pictures requires you to do more than just stand over a flower and take a picture. You have to crawl through grass and lay on the ground. Find different angles and figure out the best way to get the shot you're looking for. You have to see where the light is and how it's working off of the flower.
When it all comes together, though, it is absolutely worth every bit of effort.
What do you think?
