This was at 8:30 a.m. when the fog began to burn off. Catching the daily fog, i.e., \\"atmospherics,\\" was the reason we departed at 5:30 every morning! 70mm, f/8, 1/160 sec, ISO 100. Minor post-processing.")
![Diane Sanders ~ Cactus Glow](https://www.ssccphotography.org/wp-content/gallery/october-2024-intermediate-projected/IntermediateDiane-SandersCactus-Glow.jpg "\\"Cactus Glow\\" was taken at the U.S. Botanic Garden during a club outing to see an orchid exhibit. As I went beyond the orchids, I found the cacti collection. Shot with my 60mm Macro lens in low natural light, the image was very dark. To focus on this small group of plants, I used a variety of edits in Lightroom to obscure the background, bring up the dark areas of the plant and enhance details of the spines. A few final refinements were done in Photoshop.")
