Beautiful in a grotesque sort of way (or maybe the other way 'round).

K100d super body with Takumar F 70~210mm 1:4~5.6mm lens.

1/180s, F/8, ISO 200, used onboard flash with Multi-Segment Metering.

This shot was taken at 210mm. Yes, I am aware the subject is just about dead center, however with everything considered, this I believed was the best composition available.

Many thanks for viewing.

Cactus blossoms, but I'm not sure which species and the field guide is in the other room. Scan from a chrome.

K100D Super body with SMC Pentax-DA 18~55mm AL Lens.

1/500s, f/8, ISO 200, no flash focal length is 55mm and used CWA Metering.

This was a difficult project in PPE. I tend to lose detail upon transference. It is a very pretty flower, however not a very good photograph of the same flower.

Many thanks for viewing.
