The Sun finally came out after a week of clouds and rain. This patch of flowers sits under many tall trees, and it made for great dramatic lighting! This lens has a wonderful glow at f/1.8, too, so I made sure to use it.

Easter Flowers by Benjamin Noblitt Via Flickr: Back on Easter Sunday of 2021 we spent the day at my mom's house. We had family in town so we spent a bit of the day just hanging out and visiting. My mom has always had quite the green thumb so her and Dennis have kept the house fully stocked with flowers. Flowers in the garden, flowers on the patio, flowers in hanging baskets, etc. There was this small little flower that was sitting near the entrance of the house in this little pot on the ground that I thought was pretty interesting. Coincidentally, I just so happened to have my camera gear in the car with me. This is fairly rare since I almost never have my camera gear just sitting in the car - its either in the house or we are out on a photo-specific trip. I must have either planned on using it or just finished using it? I'm not sure. Either way, I decided to bust out the camera gear and attempt to photograph this little flower. Fortunately this little guy was in the shade, so no harsh shadows or hotspots to deal with. Somewhat unfortunately though, was that it was oh-so-slightly windy and a little bit dark in the shade. This meant that I had to use a slightly slower shutter speed for proper exposure and just had to hope I timed it well enough to avoid any motion blur from the wind. I set up my composition for a simple photo stack. I rattled off a few different stacks with the hopes that one of them would have enough sharp frames to get the image that I was looking for. As you can see here, one of them turned out! The image that I liked ended up being composed of two flowers lined up front to back. I focused on the front one in the foreground and then had the second one be the blurred out background. Its a little bit abstract, but I do like it that way. It looks like I shot a stack of 100 images but only used 45 to make this photo. Given the already narrow depth of field of this image, the individual images where extremely narrow! Since this is only a stack with no panorama, it is the same size as a standard 45.4 megapixel image out of my D850. I have tried to do focus stacked panos of very small subjects (macro photography), and its a really mixed bag for me. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and its hard to predict the outcome. Either way, I am happy with this photo and I hope you all can enjoy it just as much as I do.
