Peonies / Nikon D1-X



If you have followed this blog, you know how I feel about the Nikon D1-X. A truly superb machine. It had many problems but the image quality was excellent. These peonies at the Brooklyn Botanic, have been removed for reasons that I cannot understand. This whole area was absolutely exquisite with is varied colors.
