Lily Pads
This was a rather difficult shot to get.
I was standing on a small balcony overlooking the pool containing these lilies(?). Unfortunately shooting in low light, with extension tubes and wanting a large depth of field I needed the balcony to be very stable and that is hard to do with other people walking back and forth on the balcony. I decided to keep a low ISO, high f-stop and wait for the moment. I got lucky, but only took this and one other shot before the balcony was bouncing once again.
f25 at .6 sec, 240mm with extension tubes, ISO100.
