One day wonder by eleanor

One day wonder

We have a scruffy-looking cactus in a pot, and every now and then a beautiful flower bursts forth... but it only lasts for a day.
But so worth the wait when they look like this!

Great colours.

This is lovely. I especially like how you haven't centred the flower, which is what people normally do.

Stunning photo .. What kind of camera and lens do you use if I may ask .. ?
January 14th, 2011  
@babybrat It's a Canon EOS 450D , and I use the kit lens 18-55mm (I think this camera is called the Canon Rebel XSi in the USA). If you look next to the picture there is a hyperlink called "View Exif Info". If you click on that you can see the actual settings for the pic too ... and that's on any pic on the 365 site where the person has not specifically deleted that info.

@babybrat I've just looked at your camera settings and it appears that we are using the same equipment! At one stage last year Ross published details on the most popular camera used by 365ers and this was the single most popular camera/model!
