Nature's House Of Paint
Bored and needing some new “material”, I headed outside with Nikon D300, Sigma 105mm f/2.8 Macro and SB800 flash. After blinding multiple insects, I settled down at my blooming Hydrogena. Amazing what nature will “paint” for us.

I would give anything to be bored for 2 mins…. Love the swirls and of course the purple tones. Straight to the favs.

Has a paineted feel to it, doesn’t it?
Maureen Maliha

Don’t you just love a good macro lens…. Great deep color
Andy Mueller replied
Indeed I do. That Sigma lens is quite capable of producing decent results ….. handheld, manual focus, Aperature priority at F14, I think.

Hey, Andy, don’t let PETA hear that you’ve been blinding insects or they’ll get a bunch of people to demonstrate naked on your front lawn! This is a cool capture! And right in your own yard, too!

Artist and great hunter of the Northeast Region Andy Mueller who takes out his prey with bolts of lighting from as near as two feet…poor bugs!
Dazzling color this has….the making of a cool black light poster.

Andy…this is beautiful! Great composition and has an almost abstract quality to it. How did you use the flash in this shot? I just bought that flash not long ago and am really trying to get used to it so any advice is really appreciated. Love this image :)
Andy Mueller replied
Thank you Shelly, I had it shoe mounted, pointed at the full 90 degree angle (so right at the bloom). I was in Aperature Priority, F13 I think. Didn’t it turn out cool. I love the “swirls” in this ….
Shelly Hiebert
Awesome! Thank you! And yes it really did turn out cool :)
