Not an Australian native but nice



Shutter Speed 1/320 second
Exposure Program = shutter priority ƒ/5.6
Focal Length = 300
ISO Speed Ratings = 400

This is a detail of the flower Grevillea Apricot Glow.
I used the Nikon 70-300VR with a Nikon Diopter on it to be able to get this close up shot.
Shutter Speed 1/20
Lens F-Number ƒ/10
Exposure Program = shutter priority
ISO Speed Ratings = 200
Focal lens @ 300mm



To have an idea of the magnification of the diopter fitted in the 70-300VR here is an image of the full flower

Beautiful shots Arthur

That's a wonderful looking flower

Did you put a black backdrop behind it or did you create it with the shutter and using a speed light with trigger?

Thanks for putting the technical details with the photo Arthur, much appreciated!!!

I selected a flower inside of the bush with filtered light and also used reflectors (SS cooking pot lids) to direct light to the areas that I like to pop out to achieve a 3D effect.
The black BG is a result of the aperture selected and the position of the flower in the bush.
I use this technique in many of my flora shots, here is another example using the Nikon D200 with the the 35-70 lens. No flash used.
Shutter Speed) 1/400 second
Exposure Program = shutter priority ƒ/3.8
ISO Speed Ratings = 180
Focal lens 52 mm
