Our magnolia tree is blooming but due to it being shaded by other trees it grew vertically and most of the flowers are too high to photograph.
I managed to snap a few photos of this one starting to open. It's one of the lower flowers but I needed to shoot with a long lens at a shallow angle to get a decent background. http://gallery.multi.net.nz/photo/1079/#peso I moved slightly for this one so it doesn't have the green blob. http://gallery.multi.net.nz/photo/1080/#peso The little black spot is a small insect. Pentax K10D with FA*400mm F/5.6, handheld (with a few quiet expletives directed at the AF) Cheers, Dave -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
