Live alone in a paradise

Vertical orientated shallow depth of field purple coneflower macro

Live alone in a paradise — 100mm | f/3.5 | ISO 100 | EXP 1/1600

. . . that makes me think of two.

Here’s a flower for your Friday. I hope you enjoy it.

This is one of my purple coneflowers that I have potted (sloppily) in my backyard. With strong light overhead, a little to my back, I fixed bayonets macro lens and popped off a few shutters. It was five minutes of awesomesauce. You should have been there. OK. Maybe not.

Regardless, and I’ve said it before, purple coneflower are some of the best floral muses out there. A real go-to for this guy.

Have a great weekend, everyone. Happy shutters.
