Being Close!

Day 29 of my 365 Photo Challenge.

Despite the heavy rain, I went out into the local meadows, hunting for flowers and plants.

Today, I captured an image of the Ranunculus repens, also called the creeping buttercup. For the picture, I used my 70-200 mm Lens and went very long to be at the same level as the flower. As an aperture, I used F4 to ensure a decent depth of field.

Sometimes, I am surprised how sharp the images can get by handholding the camera and lens.

Enjoy!
