@Yard 写真のねたぎれです。6月の...
I have just returned from Kobe. The rain is heavy now. I hope the typhoon will not attack directly to Tokyo.
HPPT!
3 archive shots from our trips to Iberia.
I think this is the common Geranium Bronze Butterfly, not sure if i took this in Spain or elsewhere
Taken with A7II & Soligor 75 - 250 f4.5 with Nikon 5T Close Up Filter
The plant has been on our back deck since late spring. Warm weather in Birmingham has permitted it to survive into November. This is a somewhat staged image. The plant is in a hanging container but I set it on the deck rail so the camera & lens could be brought close to the bloom cluster which was in front of a full bloom and blur the full bloom.
My wife's Geraniums always make for a nice image. Still blooming despite the colder weather taking hold.
Another win for the "enthusiast compact". I'm certainly enthusiastic about this little camera. It might not have a ton of megapixels (10), but it takes amazingly good pictures. I rarely have to do much of anything to the RAW files, and it will come in quite close while at a moderate zoom to control the background. It's not the equal of my DSLR in flexibility, but it's a heck of a lot easier to cart around, which means I take more pictures. That's always a good thing... you never get the shot you see when your camera is at home.
Géraniacée de 20-60 cm à rosette de feuilles alternes, puis tige à feuilles bractéales opposées, longuement pétiolées et à limbe arrondi. Limbes profondément découpés en 5-7 segments trilobés, rougissant en fin d'été. Inflorescence caractéristique par les pédoncules uniflores. Sépales étalés et pétales veinés sans onglet de 1,5-2 cm, d'un pourpre éclatant, légèrement émarginés au sommet, sur des pédoncules axillaires. Etamines à filets ciliés inférieurement. Carpelles poilus au sommet, non ridés.
Autres noms français : Bec de grue sanguin, Herbe à becquet, Sanguinaire (allusion à la couleur des fleurs et des tiges, mais aussi à l'action hémostatique de la plante, riche en tanin comme d'autres Géraniums). Espèce de demi-ombre, xérothermophile, sur des substrats relativement pauvres en nutriments. Inféodée à l'habitat sensible des ourlets oligotrophiques, elle a globalement régressé voire complètement disparu de plusieurs secteurs franciliens (cf. H des Abbayes, P Fournier et P Jauzein).
Geranium is a genus of 422 species of flowering annual, biennial, and perennial plants that are commonly known as the cranesbills. They are found throughout the temperate regions of the world and the mountains of the tropics, but mostly in the eastern part of the Mediterranean region. The long, palmately cleft leaves are broadly circular in form. The flowers have five petals and are colored white, pink, purple or blue, often with distinctive veining. Geraniums will grow in any soil as long as it is not waterlogged. Propagation is by semiripe cuttings in summer, by seed, or by division in autumn or spring.
The genus name is derived from the Greek (géranos) or (geranós) ‘crane’. The English name ‘cranesbill’ derives from the appearance of the fruit capsule of some of the species. Species in the genus Geranium have a distinctive mechanism for seed dispersal. This consists of a beak-like column which springs open when ripe and casts the seeds some distance. The fruit capsule consists of five cells, each containing one seed, joined to a column produced from the center of the old flower. The common name ‘cranesbill’ comes from the shape of the unsprung column, which in some species is long and looks like the bill of a crane. However, many species in this genus do not have a long beak-like column.
Some of the buds have bloomed since last photographed.
Again a different set up:
Camera D810
Lens AFS 70-300mm 4.5-5.6 VR
Filter Nikon 5T (Used a step down ring to fit 62mm filter to 67 mm threads on lens)
Even when the marine layer is thick, these blossoms shine brightly!
