This was yesterday and the rain was pouring, just bucketing down outside. My second thought, after making sure all the windows weren’t open wide and about to flood the house, was to run out there with my camera and an umbrella, crouch in the rain and take photos. I did, and most of them turned out crap.
Such is life. This however, in a quick stop in my dad’s greenhouse, was a favorite. It’s not perfectly focused, with the focus landing just on the sides of the petals rather than the central column, but I like it all the same. I enjoyed framing this, taking lots of versions to make sure the petals work around the edges just right.
