You may have figured out that the Texas Gayfeather is one of my favorite Texas Wildflowers. I have many, of course, but this Crooked Gayfeather caught my attention during a recent trip to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. I especially liked the fact that the scene had a color-filled background of other Texas Gayfeather and Maximilian Sunflowers. The separation between the crooked Gayfeather and the other plants was a big plus as it allowed me to create a nice soft background.<\/p>\n

Crooked Gayfeather<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This image was taken with my\u00a0Sony A7R II Digital Camera<\/a>\u00a0using my\u00a0Sony 90mm f\/2.8 Macro Lens<\/a>. The camera was set on Aperture Priority\u00a0mode with the aperture set at f\/8, shutter speed at 1\/40th of a second and the ISO set at 400. I used only natural light to light the subject. I captured six\u00a0images and brought them together into a single image using Photoshop and the\u00a0focus stacking<\/a>\u00a0technique. I finalized the image Lightroom and Nik Color Efex Pro.<\/p>\n
