BEAUTIFULLY ILLUMINATED

After photographing the wildflowers with a misty sunrise scenes at Wildflower Park, I focused on the individual wildflowers that were close to the trail. There was one plant that I knew was in perfect condition from passing by it earlier that I wanted to photograph so, I backtracked some and switched out my lens to my nikkor 105mm macro. The early morning sunlight was falling perfectly on this swamp milkweed plant illuminating the umbels with the right amount of soft light. After photographing the entire swamp milkweed plant, I wanted to get a close up image of the umbel and florets so, I moved in closer with the macro lens. I set up the tripod and camera, composed the swamp milkweed plant and began photographing. (509-534)
