Taken in a light rain, trying to keep things dry. 208 layers.

208 layers - in the rain ! You must be a very patient person.

208 layers - in the rain ! You must be a very patient person.

I am, by nature, a very impatient person, which is why something like focus-stacking has been so useful for me. It teaches me patience in a way I can stand.

This took some patience. I always carry a plastic shower cap with me to cover the camera and lens, which I did today, just letting the lens peek out from under. Thankfully, the rain and mist was straight down. There was no wind, until later. Well,  little wind, enough that I had to take out my little Flowerpod (tiny tripod with a clamp) and clamp the string on which this Morning Glory sat. It took a while.

@Michael: I love when people work against their nature to achieve something extraordinary.

It is so much easier to achieve nothing by following the stream that carries you without effort.

Please continue. You manage to pleaese and surprise me. Thank you!
