I took this in April at the Woodburn Tulip Festival. I was using a macro lens – Nikon 105mm f/2.8 AF-S Micro VR. The aperture is set to f/3.2 and the shutter is 1/8000 second. I was playing with depth of field but didn’t realize that being close to an object intensifies the effect that aperture has on depth of field. It makes sense that it should. Just didn’t realize it at the time. I thought this was an interesting tulip, not like most that you see. I used Topaz Detail to highlight the coloring.
