365

In 2009, my wife and I decided to attempt Project 365: one photograph per day for one year. My goal was to create a truly good photograph each day, though I fell short more often than I succeeded. However, in spite of many below average photographs, I am thankful to have forced myself to take far more photographs than I otherwise would have, including a few that make the whole project worthwhile. :)

[365.054] Open Late
<I>Alameda, California — February 23, 2009</I>

While there was a break in the rain, I decided to go outside and try some night shots with a tripod. I didn't venture far from the front door to find this single flower still open while all of its comrades have closed up for the night.

Focusing on the flower in <I>very</I> low light was not very easy, but after a couple attempts I got one in good focus. In case you're interested, this is a 6 second exposure at f/1.4 and ISO 200.
