Purple and Sunshine

Miscellaneous purple flowers, in one of the Metro Zoo's numerous walk-edging planters.
And the middle of the middle flower.
Taken with the Pentax SMC FA-100mm/F2.8 macro lens, hand held. Shake reduction is a wonderful, wonderful thing.

  1. I think that it's more the FA-100 than the shake reduction with a 1/400th second shutter. In any case the middle of the flower macro is niiiiiice.

  2. Thank you!

    (Hey, cool; I hadn't realized the GIMP was passing that much exif data through to the JPEGs.)

    I think -- and will admit I haven't done anything really quantified to test the belief -- that the shake reduction still helps a bit at 1/400.

    If only by leaving me free to not fuss about "is this fast enough?" :)

    And yes, I really like the FA-100, large helping of the brick-nature and all.
