After yesterday’s exercise in capturing a huge amount of thundering water, here’s a gently composed look deep into a purple iris. This was another exercise in setting a focus and moving my body back and forth to get the right shot, and not only did I manage to capture nice sharp lines inside there, for once there weren’t any insects. It’s the little victories.
