Detailed Description
Early Saxifrage....this is not a flower I come across often or know anything about, but Helen Lowe Metzman found this flower in Howard County and took its picture in our lab. I am sure there are galaxies of stories and wonders about for this plant. I am just not privy to them. Photography Information: Canon Mark II 5D, Zerene Stacker, Stackshot Sled, 65mm Canon MP-E 1-5X macro lens, Twin Macro Flash in Styrofoam Cooler, F5.0, ISO 100, Shutter Speed 200 USGSBIML Photoshopping Technique: Note that we now have added using the burn tool at 50% opacity set to shadows to clean up the halos that bleed into the black background from "hot" color sections of the picture.
