In the garden on a cold November day

[GardenersHelper]

Not a time to see plants at their best in our garden, but there were still some things to see and photograph yesterday. These were captured hand-held with a Panasonic G9 and Olympus 60mm macro. All but one were captured as 6K videos, from which I stacked between 31 and 99 frames. #7 is a still taken from an aperture bracket set.

Processing for the stacks used Helicon Focus, Lightroom and in some cases Photoshop and/or Topaz DeNoise AI. Processing for the single raw file used Silkypix, Lightroom, Photoshop and Topaz AIClear.

There are 1300 pixel high versions in this album at Flickr.

An impressive set. I particularly like the lighting in #7.

#5 and #6 look like Earthtongues. Good to see them from ground level.

Thanks John. I like the effects that backlighting can produce, although I don't find backlit flowers in a "composable" position very often unfortunately. Here are a couple more, these from the summer of 2016. (There are some more of these in this album at Flickr.) I home in on backlit flowers as soon as I notice them because the effect can be very rapidly changing and/or short lived when the late afternoon sunlight is coming through gaps in foliage, which is when I most often see these effects.

Thanks for the identification. I wondered what they were. I don't recall seeing them before.
