Taken with a 35mm Canon F-1 and Canon 200mm macro lens mounted on a tripod. The F-1 is a durable, heavy camera that does not require a battery to operate. It was take in natural light and dark areas were supplemented with small reflector boards and mirrors. The shot was taken through textured glass. Note how the colors appear to run down and mix with other colors just below the blossom. It resembles a watercolor painting. That was my goal.
