"Just The Tip"
General: 6:24 PM on 3/17/09 | Canon 5D Mark II
Technical: 1/40sec | f/2.8 | 100mm | ISO-250
Lens: EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM
Exposure Mode: Av (Aperture Priority)
Exposure Bias: -1/3
Flash: No

I caught just the tip of this flower in the focal plane. There is some of the flower in focus, but the image really pulls the rest in to a blurry oblivion.

We're having such nice weather for June. The temperature has only flirted with 100 a couple of times and the evenings are simply beautiful. We eat dinner outside almost every day. Unfortunately, the temperature will soon approach that of an oven.

This is a superb macro - love the very restricted DoF and the strong colours. Good to see you return to posting!

Love the sharpness and attention to detail here. You and I are both old-timers, Ryan! :)
