About the Image(s)
Pentax body with 135mm Pentax prime lens tripod mounted - ISO 100 - 1/60 @ f/16.
Due to windy conditions used two Pentax flash units as fill flash at minus 1.7 at TTL setting on the flash units. I set the camera body on 5 seconds delay and held the flash units on each side of the camera.
Red Flowering Currant is a medium size native shrub that blooms in very early spring in our region. When in full bloom it is a very colorful shrub. Photographed at home as we have one planted in our landscaping.

Murphy, for me, I wish the small 2nd leaf up from the bottom as well as the darker small leaf facing left further up were in focus or gone, and the composition is just a tad too tight on both sides, and am not sure about the cut-off leaf at the top but I am sure that was intended. Given all that, I like the background, that the branch comes out of the lower left, and the color palate. Ray   Posted: 02/03/2025 21:57:06
Hi Ray: YES, I agree the image is a bit tight on both sides, easy to fix and I will do so. Thanks for the tip.   Posted: 02/04/2025 03:56:22
