Flower Sculpture HDR.

From Opus: The reference photo is the middle photo of seven: three with slower exposures and three with faster exposures. This was a Nikon D700 with a 28-300 lens. Since I was just walking around and shooting multiple hand-held exposures for HDR the settings were a bit strange: f7.1, ISO 1000. The exposures ranged from 1/800 second to 1/8000 second.  Most below the fold, click for full size.

Oh, such amazing photography, glimpses of all the worlds within our world! I had to bookmark, because I have too much to do today and I have to be good and asleep early (5:30am wake up), but I’ll work my way through eventually. Have a wander and see wonders!
