Spiderwort

Jefferson County Memorial Forest, KY

Fujichrome Velvia 50, OM-2, 135mm macro belows lens, telescopic auto tube, 8 minutes at f/45, tripod.

"This represents the longest exposure I've ever used to obtain a nature image.  I found these spiderworts deep in a forest on an overcast day.  I was trying out an old OM-2, which has the ability to autoexpose indefinitely (or until the batteries go dead).  I was just about to give up on the frame when the shutter clicked off."
