This week I'm trying to capture some very shy water irises in my Japanese garden; tone variety, Black Mardi Gras, are deep purple with thin yellow stripes - another variety don't recall name) is yellow with very fine dark filigree. I got them is past with digital but never enough detail or faithful color rendition. Almost always in the filtered shade of a Sangu Koku (Coral Bark) maple. Fortunately the low, late afternoon sun now shows up around 1900 or so. Which is good because these guys only hang around for a few days after opening. Trying the R Vario 28-90 Asph on tripod at 90mm, 4.5, with and without Helliopan Circular Polarizer. Tripod legs on dirt, boulders and stepping stone, crazy angle, backache position for the photographer. Shooting Kodak Portra 400 at 320. This is definitely Obsessive-Compulsive. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it...
