Purple Bachelor's Button
Photo By Carl Eberhart

• Title: Purple Bachelor's Button
• State/Province/Region: Tennessee
• Country: United States
• Nearest Area: southeast TN
• Nearest Town: Cleveland
• Brief Directions: 2 miles east of town, on a horse farm.
• Best Season: Spring
• Description: I finally got my AF to nail one of these tiny 2-inch-wide flowers during that gently breezy afternoon. So I decided it needed cropping by about 400%. Shot hand-held about 3 feet from the bloom; 270mm; f/5.6; 1/500/sec; ISO 200; negative 1/3 exposure compensation; center-weighted average metering; RAW. Only very little post editing needed, with less than half the default color NR, zero luminance NR, and hardly any sharpening (most of it merely done in ACR).
• Gear: Canon EOS 50D; Canon 135 f/2L and 2x II TC; UV filter
