That explains it. I love subtle nuiances of color like that.

Hi Stacey,

Bill, beautiful image and very sharp as others have already noted. I can’t resist the Hosta’s in spring either (I have about 10 planted in my yard). The thing that catches my eye as unusual in the image is the magenta color showing up in the drops. Was there color in the sky above, flowers nearby or maybe on you? Just curious.
Hope the ankel heals up well. Take care, Stacey.

I bracketed with f/16 and that wasn’t enough. Yes, a macro thing. The greater the magnification and depth of the subject, the great the need for smaller apertures.
Cheers, Bill

That’s very interesting. I would have guessed F8 would have been enough, but since I’m not familiar with the plant, perhaps the image is a bit deceiving re DOF. Or maybe it’s a macro thing :). Regardless, it’s a drop dead gorgeous image! Look forward to more.

Thanks all. Hi Brenda! I try not to rest on my laurels… but I don’t get up to the park much.
Jim, I did not select that shutter speed as a first consideration. I selected the aperture as the main consideration for the DOF of f/32 due to the deep depth of the subject.

I appreciate the explanation of the TS lens use. I’m even more curious about your decision process in selecting a 10 second exposure for this shot.

Wow, Bill, sorry to hear about the ankle. We just got back from our Tour in Umbria, Italy – and yes, we were one of the groups to flock to Yosemite just before that to photograph moonbows, flowing water, dogwoods, and such. Sorry you didn’t make it this year but then you have soooooo many wonderful pics of Yosemite already. We all need to catch up to your stockpile! get well soon.

Bill—unbelievably sharp and the shades of green really add to the image.
Take care of that ankle!

Thanks for your comments!
For this image, I didn’t need the Tilt Shift aspect of the lens, but it is a very sharp lens that gives me a “tripod height” working distance. If I had used my 50mm Macro, my neck would still be in a kink! And my ankle more sore!
This lens has been essential for my images:

William – As usual, impeccable vision and execution. I always want to study images you post and study them closely. Best wishes for a rapid recovery from your injury. Frank

Bill, using your tilt-shift lens have did you go about taking this beautiful picture. I have a similar lens have found few uses for it. I would love to learn more of your thinking in taking this image. Thanks so much for you beautiful images. I always am inspired by your work. CC
