Week 27

f8, 1/350 sec., ISO-200, 100 mm macro

Week 27 - September 2 - 8, 2012

Here I am back at Hillcrest Park with my macro lens.  We were here last week with our visitor from London, Ontario.  However, I only had my "regular" 18-55 mm lens and 135 mm telephoto.  So I knew I had to come back with the macro to get more floral shots.

As I have stated previously, the sunken gardens at Hillcrest Park are so beautiful.  This summer I have fallen in love with the cosmos flower.  I am definitely going to grow them in my own yard next year.  I loved the soft light on this photo and slight shadow.  It can be tricky with lighting during the day.  I do my best to avoid the bright sunshine.
