Re: Christmas in March????? No, Not the Snow...

Hello everyone,

Recovering from outpatient surgery I am staying home to recover. Didn’t know how I’d be feeling so I asked Jerry to begin the thread today and thank him for doing so. Feeling a little better…..So…. What can I do creatively confined to my home? In SoCal and the rest of the state we have had an extended winter. Evidently this was not lost on our Christmas Cactus which decided to bloom a second time!

Thought I would do something a bit different from the last cactus pic I posted (30mm focus stacking) last year and use the 100-400 on a tripod with a 10s delay. No problem with air movement and below is how it came out. For you Pixel Peepers the image posted is a FULL RESOLUTION crop. The H2 is capable of great imagery even with an ancient tele. AND for those with BIG MONITORS, let me know how it looks. (I do my processing on a 16” Macbook Pro.)

Beautiful flower and picture.  We have a couple of these plants and they have been a real joy.  Alas, they are past their prime at this point, so not much to photograph now.
