Pink Fairy Duster
Calliandra eriophylla
There's something about these fairy dusters chillin in the wild, acting super cool without a care in the world.
This is the first year I've come across them--where have I been?? The 'dusters' are a real challenge getting in focus from front to back with a silky bokeh thanks to the busy Sonoran Desert bush. You wouldn't think a desert to be busy until you try to shape your foreground for a landscape opportunity but find everything in your way.
Here's my go at focus stacking that didn't quite get me the results I wanted, but fairy close. Wide open for background at f5.6 and f11 for detail.
