plumeria bloom macro

Posted by Jeff (Honolulu, United States) on 28 March 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

I found this flower lying on the ground this morning and brought it home to photograph. It was a bit limp at first, but by putting it in a shallow bowl of water I was able to revive it enough for this image. The plumeria blossom is as fragrant as it is beautiful.

ISO 100, 1.3s, f/22.0, e.c. -2, 36mm of 17-40mm

Image genre: Color photograph using surface blur and an inverted edge mask

This site is the sister of "Aloha Photo" which is a much more extensive photo site and can be viewed at http://alohaphoto.my-expressions.com/index.html. Often images are posted in both places, but aloha photo has been in operation since 2004, so it has many more photographs. If you are interested in Hawaii please feel free to visit my other photoblog.
