Black Pearls


Title: Black Pearls | Camera: Kodak P712 with image stabilization | Exposure: Manual | Shutter: 1/50 sec. | Aperture: f3.5 | ISO: 64 | Lens: built-in at 63mm (380mm equivalent) | Metering: Center-weighted Average


This photo of the Black Pearl plant was taken in the Cann Gardens of Ponca City, OK. I spent most of that cool September morning taking portraits of a friend for school and had been blessed with a pleasing fog that made the portraits come out well. The same fog that helped me with my portraits also allowed the dew to linger on the plant, which I photographed while my human subject disposed of breakfast remnants. Black Pearl plant has small, round, dark purple peppers and equally small purple flowers. The thick stem also shares the purple coloring as do the leaves, although I can see from my photo that some of the leaves are green.

This photo is for sale, just email me at wholesomeworks[at]cableone[dot]net if your interested.
