[QUOTE="pendennis, post: 785703, member: 42413"] May was a very good month at the local flower and garden stores. Most had beautiful perennial and annual blooms, and the varieties were great. While the local shops have quite a bit, I was greatly surprised at Lowe's and Home Depot. I was at Lowe's on another errand, but I took my camera with me to check out their blooms. This red-orange gerbera daisy really stood out. There were a couple of other examples of the same color, but this one was superior in its shape and bloom. I used a Nikon D810, with an older 70-180mm D Micro lens. The settings were 70mm, f/11, 1/400, ISO 400. I used Adobe Elements 21 for post processing, but the sliders on the editing choices remained in the center. It's the least editing I've used in a long time, and mostly just to experiment with cropping.
