3/30/06 - Squiggly Line

Ultra close-up of an orange and yellow daffodil. Opened the lens and focused on the near edge in order to emphasize the edge of the "trumpet" while blurring the rest of the image.
It was getting dark. Even at f/5.6, ISO800 was needed to get a marginal shutter speed of 1/30 sec (& the wind was making the daffy dance). Outdoor macros in a springtime breeze are a challenge.

Nikon D70
1/30s f/5.6 at 105.0mm iso800 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
