Amaryllis


AMALFI AMARYLLIS, CHICAGO BOTANIC GARDEN, GLENCOE, ILLINOIS, DECEMBER 17, 2013

Both photographs:
Pentax K-3
Tamron 90mm f2.8 macro



1/200 sec. f5.6, ISO 800

1/125 sec. f9, ISO 1600

For the second one, I reduced the aperture by 1 1/2 stops to gain a little more depth of field, and boosted the ISO for an adequate shutter speed holding the camera with the assistance of a monopod. There was no sun, so I saturated the colors a little in Lightroom to give the photos more "pop."
