Since it was a damp, misty evening, and getting a bit late, staying indoors was definitely on the cards. I was tossing up between doing some light painting or still life: both of which I've done just a little bit of, but rather enjoy. Since I've done a bit of light painting recently, it seemed reasonable to twiddle with a quiet arrangement of something or other. But what? Then I had an idea ...

My mom and step-dad are at a wedding tonight, then will be staying over with Dave and I. Tomorrow we will enjoy brunch and pedicures (the pedicures are for my mom and I). I am looking forward to a little pampering! I most definitely need it.
A simple close-up photograph of "plain" white petunia flowers. Our neighbors were kind enough to gift us a pot of white, pink, and purple petunias, and they are bringing the spring cheer into our apartment.
To take this photograph, I moved the pot so that it was close to a window. This provided the back to side lighting. It was still quite dark, so I had to use an elevated ISO of 1600 and wide aperture of f/4.0. The latter accounts for the very narrow depth-of-field and the soft appearance of the bulk of the elements. To get in close, I used a 32mm extension tube in concert with the 80mm lens.
