Jewel in the Scrub
Stypandra glauca or "Nodding Blue Lily"
Story
On my way home from work today I decided to stop and investigate a stretch of dry eucalypt forest. After playing with a Lynx Spider I bumped into this jewel amongst the scraggy grass. The flower was about 1.5cm across? Thankyou Briarah for the identification!
Hand-held @ 1/180, f22. No crop.
The Gear
--> Nikon D90
--> Nikon AF 50MM F1.8D lens
--> PK-13 extension tube (so full manual exposure and focusing)
--> Nissin R50A Ring Lite (modified to fit into cokin filter holder - unless someone out there has a 53mm-->52mm step-down ring...)
--> pc-sync cable to hotshoe mounted SB-15 (no batteries, just to fire the ring lite)
