My Oly C-2000Z's penchant for oversaturating flower reds in direct sunlight is evident, but I seem to have gotten away with it this time. White cala lily, May, in ultraviolet light using 18A and hot mirror filters. The strong UV reflection from pollen on the pistil draws insects.
Camera shake blurs the image despite monopod support.
Blue agapanthus, August, in infrared light using a Hoya R72 filter. The dead-center composition is embarrassing, but I like the crisp flower head against the blurred dappled background. Spreading fleabane, July, Carson Pass, Sierra Nevada, California. This photograph is as much about the arrangement as it is about the flowers themselves. Kahili ginger, June, Kilauea Iki crater, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, wet from a passing shower.
