My best grab this year, the light was great and the people provide scale. Taken in April of this year under blue gray skies. Hand held panorama shot manually. f2.8 1/500 ISO100

Adventure number 6 saw Geoff and I turn up at a moonlit Talacre. No mishaps to report on this trip, it went pretty much to plan.
The lighthouse is suffering from subsidence and is not straight. the beach always has such wonderful textures in it. I have struggled to get a new shot out of this location because I posted so many at the time but this was the best of the rest. The light here is provided by a very bright moon.
The July 8, 2016 Rolling Sculpture car show in downtown Ann Arbor, Michigan. This show with a great variety of vehicles always takes place on the second Friday in July.
We had a brief rainstorm in early evening and this block of Avantis and other Studebakers looked very nice after the sun came out.

In researching this flower I learned that it has many names including "Naked Ladies". "Belladona Lilly and "Belladonna Amaryllis". The flowers are pretty and require no care, which endears them to me, as they pretty much fend for themselves, growing up against a boulder under a fig tree. These plants bloom in August every year, and the picture I took of them in 2013 has become my most viewed image on Flickr. Two years ago I photographed it again, and it became my second most viewed image I wonder if the title has anything to do with it. Hmm ...... Here is this years version.
Lighting information: The main light was a YN560III in a 24 inch soft box placed camera left and in front at 8 o'clock. I wanted the luminous qualities of the petals to show so I put a YN560-III in a Rogue Grid behind the flower on the left side at 11 o'clock for back lighting.. Fill light on the right side came from a YN560 III in another 24 inch soft box. The strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. In the description for that set, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash, and the equipment that I use. www.flickr.com/photos/9422
