Their roots are very shallow and you would damage/kill the plant. This shot was taken with a 645 format 150mm (about a 90mm? in 35mm format?), so not as close as I would like to have been. This was another plant closer taken hand held: http://www.rgaphoto.com/2011-Hawaii-Tier2/content/2011_Hawaii_MG_4346_Edit_large.html It is not flowering like the other, of course. But thanks for looking. I used some of your techniques with NIK's SilverEfx, so you own a part of these :-) Best, Bob On Wed, Nov 16, 2011 at 4:33 PM, Lluis Ripoll <lluisripollquerol at gmail.com>wrote: > Great picture Bob, it could be one of examples showed by Ansel Adams, > great work! > > cheers > Lluis > > > El 13/11/2011, a las 8:24, Robert Adler escribi?: > > Went up to the top of the Haleakala volcano today.
