Ever since I started this project I have been jonesing to get over to Shore Acres park to photograph flowers. So, I looked at my calendar this week and decided the time had come and getting out of the smoke would be an added bonus. But as usual I was a little disappointed in the gardens. They are so intent on keeping people out of the flower beds it has gotten to where you need a telephoto lens to take any good pictures. There was another photographer there reaming out the gardeners which I thought was not going to help anyone. But seriously, they are ephemeral, there are supposed to be there for our enjoyment, why not let people get close enough to smell them or take macro pictures or whatever their desire. Anyway, they were less stingy with the cosmos than the dahlias and I was pretty happy with this shot though I did use my 70-200mm telephoto zoom set at f2.8. About as usual on post, tweaked the exposure, added a high pass filter and cropped a little on the left to take out the center of another flower that was a bit distracting.
