6/13/2011: Lupines in the Rain

Though it rained all day yesterday, we did take an afternoon drive around the Park Loop at Acadia National Park, and, when we came on this amazing stand of Lupines between Great Meadow and the road, I could not resist stopping (despite my comments of yesterday). It meant working from under an umbrella and getting my feet wet, but the contrast of the flowers and the aspen saplings in the subdued light was just too good to miss.

Nikon Coolpix P500 at 100mm equivalent field of view, f4.6 @ 1/60th @ ISO 160. Program with Active D-Lighting and Vibrant Image Optimization.

Processed in Lightroom for Clarity and Sharpness.

    Beautiful shot. I like the birch trees in the composition. Much nicer than your previous Lupine shot, IMHO.
