Number: 01-7 Story: I
wanted my own version of the often-photographed Mt. Tom with wild iris,
so I pre-scouted and kept this image in the back of my mind. Finally,
one day at about 4:15 P.M., it had just stopped raining, and I knew the
colors would look good. Green colors and soft light really snap using
Fuji Velvia, but rain was the most important ingredient. I went to my
pre-selected location and found the distant Mt. Tom sunlit with the
irises in the foreground jumping into the scene. I like my images tack
(razor) sharp which requires long shutter speeds of up to a second or
more. There was a problem with depth of field due to wind, so I
selected a much shorter shutter speed—around 1⁄15 of a second. This
meant that the entire image would not be in focus. I decided to
compose the photograph with Mt. Tom and the foreground irises in focus,
sacrificing the middle area.
