Title:	Before the Pie
Gear used:	OM-2 + CV 125mm f/2.5 APO-Lanthar + tripod + focusing rail
Diaphragm:	f5.6
Shutter speed:	1/125
Film used:	Kodak Portra 160 NC
Technical information:	Used largish aperture to soften the background as well as to keep the speed up due to a pesky persistent breeze. Scanned with Fuji Frontier which resulted in low contrast with altered tonal distribution. Corrected by the Moose --thank you.
Subject information:	After drizzling all AM, the sky brightened and backlit the nicely detailed apple (Mutsu) blossoms.

Amazing texture on the surface of the petals. The background is so smooth that it is difficult to believe it is natural! DOF is OK in the circumstances; soft lighting works very well by keeping contrast down.
