I got home exhausted, but then saw this color…

…in the dimmish, overcast, late afternoon light. So instead of transferring the day's take to the computer, I dragged the tripod away from its regular duty as a door stop for the back door, set it up on the front verandah, plugged the 100-300 into the GX7, and let rip t f5.6 and f7.1 at speeds of 1/100 dsown to about 1/60. With ISO jacked up at that!

I was looking down at the flower as I had been when I first noticed it.

There was a tiny breeze blowing -- very welcome on the unclad upper regions of the old bod in the sweaty heat, but not so good for a slow shutter speed shot of the flower.

But anyway,got this:

It is a very good representation of the color that attracted me and I find the tones and detail pleasingly separated in the heavily saturated image. This is an OOC JPEG, by the way.

Oh, I was shooting using the EX TELE setting in 4/3 format so I was effectively extending the 300 to 420 (yes, that's pretty close to the shot you will get on your full m43 frame with the 100-400 when it comes out) on the central 8MPX of the sensor.

OIS was switched off, I used the e-shutter for this shot, and I was using 2 seconds delay while manually firing the shutter (no smarT phone here ergo no smart phone control).
