The sunlight was filtering through an ornamental crab apple tree above the coneflower exposing both the flower and the green plant in the background. Photographed with the Canon 7D Mark II and the Canon EF 135MM F/2.0L lens and post processed in Adobe Lightroom.
Have a great day!
An immature coneflower is bent over in our flower garden. Photographed with the Canon 135MM F/2.0L lens, the background is nicely blurred out. The black and white conversion is done in Nik Software's Silver Efex Pro II. A color version is shown below.
I enjoy the detail and color of these flowers. This particular flower captured my attention because it presented the underside of the flower as opposed to the intricate flower. As with the flower, the amount of detail on the underside is staggering with the numerous hairs.
Have a great day!
Cone flowers are one of my favorite flowers to photograph. Rich deep color with an abundance of structure and details. They look great in color and black and white.
Above is a blossoming cone flower photographed in our flower garden late in the afternoon with the Canon EF 135MM F/2.0L USM lens.
Thanks for stopping by today!
