Uppsala Botanical Garden II Photo

Photographer’s Note

In the Uppsala Botanical Garden there are approximately 1,300 species grown and when you visit the garden it is nice to take some picture of the plants and flowers. Two years ago Prince Carl Philip, member of the Swedish royal family, portrayed the Uppsala Botanical Garden photographically in a book called A Glimse into Paradise. Many photos depict flowers. When I took this photo I made use of the backlight and one of the many hedges in in the garden. For some reason part of the flower became yellow in the backlight I guess it is the way cameras sees it. In the WS there is a complentary photo that shows how and where in the garden this photo is taken.

Hej Ulf,
You are probably as good photographer as any member of the royal family! Do you drive a Porsche also? This is an excellent macro with very good sharpnes and colours!

Hola Ulf --->

You've got great tones of the flower with some
very good detail, and your macro lighting have
great results, I like the frame with a dark background.

Un saludo y gracias por compartir.
