Hi TrekLens Friends:
Letting you all know that I am still here...
Many of you keep coming and visiting a few of my captures and I really do appreciate your friendship. My work is very demanding, so it has been hard to post and visit more.
I liked the look of this flower although the petals were not uniform. Specially the glow created by bright backlit sunlight that appealed to me most. And then we had this visitor Bee to add to its show to make it alive. I debated between F/5.6 and F/ 6.3 but I kept the later. My 50 mm lens looked sharp enough showing the burst of colors.
Some of you have asked me about this lens, and I would highly recommend it. I used this lens usually for my glass product photography ( like Gems & such). I had this on the camera while returning from a job, so I used it here as well.
ISO400 at S/125 on my Canon EOS 5D.
If you ever want to try some easy pp work, try Adobe Filters called
Light Effects ( Workshop)
and post something here.

BEST wishes for a new day full of joys!
David
