autumn phlox

Posted by ordinaryimages (Kentucky Bluegrass, United States) on 20 October 2009 in Plant & Nature.

Not perfect—handheld at 1/25—but reasonable enough to give me hope that the 35 LTD will be adequate for future closeup work.

I was just about to say that your growing season, or 'lasting' season must be longer there...but you've already had your first frost!
I really like the patter of the flowers, and the contrasts against the dark tones.

The b&w makes the flowers take on a much more serious feeling . . much as does a b&w in a portrait.
