I love cactus flowers because I rarely see them. View Large. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/ff12/untitled-1522.jpg.html Wind was blowing like crazy and occasional rain, but cranked up the ISO to 400 (that?s cranking for me) and at 1/2000 second froze those suckers in their tracks. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/ff12/untitled-1514.jpg.html A bit slower shutter. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/ff12/untitled-1516.jpg.html Very unusual cactus, for me at least. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/ff12/untitled-1507.jpg.html Missed this bloom by a few days. Comments and criticism welcome. 100 APO of course, on D7000, so view large. It can take it.
