I photographed these Eastern Red Columbines during a trip to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center last month. It was a perfectly still day so I was able to create very sharp images using the focus stacking technique. It was also drizzling from off-and-on so the raindrops added additional flare to the photograph. I mentioned in my Longspur Columbine<\/a> post earlier this week that columbines are some of my favorite flowers. I need to go find more species to add to my collection.<\/p>\n

Some of you have mentioned that yesterday’s Milky Way photograph was a little dark. It looked good in Lightroom but not on the site. So, I’ve lightened it a bit. Click here<\/a> to see the updated photo.<\/p>\n

This image was taken with my\u00a0Canon EOS 5D Mark III<\/a>\u00a0using my\u00a0Canon EF 100mm f\/2.8L Macro Lens<\/a>. The camera was set on Manual\u00a0mode with the aperture set at f\/8, shutter speed at 1\/30th of a second and the ISO set at 800. I used a tripod for stability and my\u00a0Kirk Focusing Rail<\/a>\u00a0to obtain 17\u00a0images which I brought together into one image using Photoshop and\u00a0the focus stacking technique. I then finalized the image in Photoshop using Nik Color Efex Pro.<\/p>\n
