This is a rose bud I bought to shoot at home and it opened real fast so I had to shoot them all on the same day.. Not a long laster!
A solitary red tulip, after the rains have passed.
Photographed with a Nikon 1 V2 camera and the 1 Nikkor 30-110mm lens at 110mm.
Photo shot in Hillsboro, Oregon. I took two versions of this beautiful flower. One perfectly centered and one off center (this version). I thought I would use the centered version, however, when I took the centered version, I had rotated myself slightly to the right and the "look" of the flower and the lighting was not as good.
A rose is either a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa (/ˈroʊzə/),[4] in the family Rosaceae (/roʊˈzeɪsiːˌiː/),[4] or the flower it bears. There are over three hundred species and tens of thousands of cultivars.[5] They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles.[6] Their flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and Northwest Africa.[6] Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses to climbers that can reach seven meters in height.[6] Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses.
There were many of these red crested cardinals flying around in Maui. I'm always amazed at how species can find an isolated island like Hawaii and make it their home. I believe in the case of the red crested cardinal is was man introduced.
Created from a focus stack of 31 photos taken with a Sigma 105mm macro lens. The subject was illuminated by diffused flash.
Tip: Watch it large. The texture in the leaf is beautiful.
