John Sheldon's photos with the keyword: Indoor plant

September 2009 - one of my first adventures in DSLR and DNG photography. Used the Pentax 'kit' 18-55mm WR zoom lens, at its longest (and weakest) setting - I consider the lack of aggressive sharpness to be an asset here. In processing this JPEG, I have tried to keep the reds under control and to keep some modelling in the petals. The title? The 'older' flower seems to be watching the young buds in a parental fashion, as they venture out into the world!

Ideal indoor plant for the winter months. Native to Madagascar. (Toxic to dogs and cats if eaten - but they would have to be mighty hungry to do so!) Snow covered silver birch tree in the background. SMC Pentax-A 1:1.7 50mm prime lens.
