may apple blossom
you kind of have to look for this bloom. the greenery on it is huge leaves that only grows about a foot from the ground. unless you look under those leaves you wont see the bloom. dont have any lighting problems w/ shooting this flower :)
i shot this macro, laying under many of these flowers, using a nikon diopter lens attached to a canon 73-300mm lens

yep yep it does..i can shoot a macro w/ that lens, but i like how this really brings things out, a lot better then just using that lens by itself

This is really pretty Chris! I love the many shades of green. I also didn’t know there was another lens that can be used as a macro, good to know!

Great capture, Chris! I had heard of a diopter, but didn’t really know what it was. You learn something new every day.

Is this some sort of helleborous, Chris? They always point towards the ground and are a pain to shoot! The soft light is rather lovely and very natural!

Yes helleborous are hell to shoot – I’ve been in the mud before trying to capture these! The things we do for art, eh? ;o)

Beautiful shot Chris – sure looks like a hellebore (known as winter rose) – huge leaves, downward pointing flowers which come up in the middle of the clump of the older leaves???
