1305_0665 Prairie Crocus
A macro walk on the blooming prairie. I've been photographing birds almost exclusively of late, and it was good to turn my attention elsewhere. As clouds drifted over the sun, I had opportunities to shoot both hard and soft light. Backlit by evening sunshine, the flowers lacked colour saturation, but they did look more dramatic. I used the Nikon 105mm macro with 1.7x teleconverter, tripod, and cable release. Grasslands National Park, Saskatchewan.
