or, a wildflower kicked my butt.This gets challenging in large format when the sun is in and out of clouds and a breeze keeps kicking up, causing the quite tall flower with a skinny stem and heavy head to wave back and forth.Of four shots, this is the only fully sharp one on the subject. And that was at 1/30 of a second. The Ektar negative was almost there.E100 is incredible, but it still gets contrasty in these conditions. It's also very honest film, and rendered the green cast from sunlight reflected off grass quite accurately, so some adjustments was needed.
