Echinacea photo

[ronaldhanko]

Thought I'd post a flower photo, not an orchid, that I think turned out fairly well. It was taken last summer at the Devonian Botanic Gardens near Edmonton (we have a son-in-law, daughter, and granddaughter up there). The camera was hand-held and the photo taken with my Tamron 90mm 2.8 macro. Since it was a dull day, I upped the ISO to 800 and shot the photo at 1/800 since there was a light breeze blowing. I used an aperture of 11 to get more depth of field and shot fairly close to the flower to get better background blur (bokeh).
