Yesterday was crazy busy, as will be the rest of the week! Gotta love it right? Tomorrow will be the happy B&W lab story that Saturday I promised to tell you this week.
Today was one of many, many close up and macro shots I took a couple weekends ago testing exposures and metering techniques, as well as more dof practice shots with my extension tubes…none of which were used on this shot. I had to manually focus this exposure. All the yellow left my lens unable to do it on its own easily. Check out the long exposure at only f-11. I do so enjoy the challenge of macro photography.
Oh, and as most of you guessed correctly, yesterday’s shot was a gourd, also shot the same day as today’s photo.
Absolutely stunning saturation in the yellow. One of your best.
Gorgeous shot Micki, well done!!
4 seconds..wow! Bright and cheery for a yukky day in my neck of the woods.
I was thinking the same as sandy, bright and cheery, we have had some really grey wet weather here lately, this put a smile on my face to go off to work this AM, thanks!
the composition is really wonderful. i like the yellowness of the photo. i feel the photo is not very sharp but then i suspect it could be your scanner. micki, you've got to ask santa for a new scanner :)
Well lit and exposed, good details...
i can almost feel the flower...gret capture of texture...
Nice composition. The location of the center of the flower add lots to the image. Nice shot.
Hi Micki, did you use a spot meter (minolta for exemple) with this shot?
It's perfectly exposed.
Yellow colour is the worse colour for shooting.
Micki thanks for popping by, as for this I love the cropping and the wonderful colour, a lovely composition my friend...
There is so much detail here it is like taking a journey into the limitless wonders of Nature. The arrangement in the center is so mathematical . . a Rule for everything.
Wow, what wonderful color and texture. This is a great shot.
I look forward to hearing your B&W lab story.
Beautiful colors! This image really 'pops'.
Simply Perfect! What kind of flower is this ?
Nice composition, great colour and detail. Tried to comment earlier but seems to have been a problem with blogger today.
Beautiful Micki!!!!!!! shot after my own heart!!!!!!!!
Love the portrait I'm guessing your daughter ( sorry didn't take the time to read LOL) I am so behind, I have been so busy! ugggg. Life it good!!!!!!!!!
Great Macro.Love the contrast of yellow and green.
That most certainly is a yellow flower!!! It's good to have a reminder of summer. That was a perfect "day brightener". Today was a cloudy, dreary day in Charlotte. Thanks for the shot in the arm.

Beautiful macro! Wonderful colours and delicacy in the petals.
Very nice work! Incredible color saturation and perfect choice in framing.
Beautiful Color!!! I feel like I can reach out and touch the petals of this gorgeous flower.
a stunning macro, and so nice to have a reminder of the summer that's disappearing so rapidly!
Great shot. Nice colours
That is just lovely micki. Well done.
What a superb shot the colours are fantastic on the smaller version I though ok its yellow but once you click on it there is so much variance making up the whole..superb
Wow ...this is one of your best macro shots ... love the vibrant color and detail.
Absolutely spectacular - the subtlety of color is just gorgeous!
Lighting perfection! Beautiful work.
