Wild Strawberry<\/p>\n

I still have several images from St Augustine I want to share, and I will get to them I am sure, but I want to give you a break from birds \ud83d\ude42 . Suddenly the yard, and every vacant patch of waste ground, is covered with Wild Strawberry blooms. Such promise. Unfortunately I never see berries on these plants. I think something eats them long before they ripen. This plant is in our yard and is presented here 1\/3 again life-sized (at least on my 1366×768 screen). The camera was sitting on the ground and I was using the flip out LCD for composition. The flower was actually inside the lens hood. \ud83d\ude42 The late overcast day provided gentle indirect light. Perfect.<\/p>\n

(Due to the vagaries of SmugMug, if you click the image to see a larger version, depending on your screen resolution, it may actually display smaller. You can use the size controls at the top of the window to see larger sizes.)<\/p>\n

Canon SX20IS at 28mm and Super Macro. F2.8 @ 1\/1000th @ ISO 200. Programmed auto.<\/p>\n

In Lightroom, a small amount of Recovery for the whites. Blackpoint slightly right. Added Clarity and Vibrance. Sharpen landsccape preset. Cropped slightly from the left for composition. <\/p>\n

From The Yard, Kennebunk ME.<\/a><\/p>\n
