Grevillea nivea – Scarlet King flower

A grevillea from WA close up, but growing at Mt Annan Botanic Gardens, Narellan, NSW.

Crop of a single photo, using flash and a diffuser. Sadly lots of the detail are lost once image posted to the blog.

Telopea is more commonly known as the Waratah family, floral emblem of NSW.

Older white flower dying with new flower emerging from bottom left.

For camera nerds: RAW conversion using DXO PureRaw2, simple levels adjustment only, background darkened, then sharpened in Topaz Sharpen AI. Single image, using Godox V350o flash with Cynustech diffuser on Panasonic G9 with Panasonic 30mm macro lens, handheld.
