Jerusealem Artichoke
(Helianthus tubersus)

Equipment used to capture image:
Camera: Nikon F4s
                Lens: Nikor 105mm 2.8 Micro
Tripod: Gitzo 320   
    Film: Fuji Provia 100

Camera was set up about 16 inches above ground level.
The light was almost becoming to warm for this photograph.
However I found the shadow details to add an interesting
element to the overall image. It gives DIMENSION.
