I tried to find out what kind of flower this is. I hunted high and low, and even went back to the arboretum, but so far, I've had no luck in identification. So far as I can tell, it is some type of hybrid species. Still, I like the flower, its looks, and am really happy with the results of processing the photograph! This is possibly my last published image of 2015, so I hope you like it!
I captured this while out on the town. The ambience of the bar made it difficult to capture moving images, but shot this on the bar counter while the owner of the drink was distracted. The Foundation is a small, cozy little place underneath Fayetteville Street in downtown, Raleigh.
This was taken somewhere between Max Patch near Hot Springs, NC, and Hartford, TN. Don't know where. I literally stuck my hands out the top of my car,carefully lined up the shot using the A7R's adjustable display, and took the picture. Luckily, nobody was in front of or behind us, because I did this numerous times.
