This image, on the other hand, is a true-born child of the digital era (D200) and the famous 14-24 Nikkor. It was the chief outcome of my 11.11.11 Day Project of shooting (you might have guessed) 11 frames.
I had found the location a few days earlier and noted the prolific occurrence of Scented Mayweed (Matricaria perforata; Asteraceae) under a highway fly-over. This is a weed that is able to flower almost around the year even at my latitude. Thus the pre-visualisation already had been at work before I arrived on location that day. Unfortunately, a spell of nocturnal frost the previous day had killed off most of the plants and made them droop. Getting the image was an exercise in lying on my back and shooting the remaining plants from below. Wet and cold, but I got my picture. I did a number of takes and this version is my reference. It prints beautifully over a double-page spread by the way.
