We spent a few hours at the Des Moines Botanical Garden this morning. Bright sun, clear skies and autumnal temperatures. T our delight, there were quite a few butterflies, including numerous monarchs, feeding on a variety of flowers.

A couple more shots from the 2023 Des Moines Concours d'Elegance. This is a very rare example of a beautifully restored sports car that was powered by an inline 6 cyl Nash engine, with body work by the UK firm Austin Healey. The lines are remarkably clean and elegant when compared to the retro styling of the much more popular MG TC and TD of the same era.

 

Shot with two off-camera strobes. Flash A modified with MagMod MagSnoot focused on roses from above and to camera right. Flash B positioned low and aimed at a velum scrim serving as background, modified with blue filter.
