US Botanic Gardens

The US Botanic Gardens is a favorite local spot for me.  I got there just before opening this morning, and was able beat the tourist crowd for the most part.  Lighting was less than ideal, no doubt about that.  But the morning was not a complete waste.

All photos were shot on the Sigma SD15, and 70mm macro lens.  Using the wireless (IR?) shutter remote, I shoot all of my flower images in mirror up mode on a tripod.

I'll likely be back in late February for the Orchid festival; I actually really dislike Orchids as flowers but it'll force me to shoot something I'm less comfortable with which I feel I need.  Spring comes pretty early to DC usually, so it won't be too long after that point before I have more selection.
