Blooming of a Pond Lilly

On my vacations the last two weeks I had the chance to realize a project I hat in my mind for a long time.

I had the dream to make a timelaps movie of a opening flower, like in the amazing BBC Movies. Fortunately it was time for two Pond Lilly's to bloom at that time and I was there at the right time.

Here is one of 3 three movies I made. Two others will follow.

This was made with:

Canon EOS 40D
Canon EF 100mm Macro Lens

Images where taken at 1minute Intervall and then assembled with QuickTime on my MacBook.

Sigma 150-500 DG OS HSM Lens

Canon EOS 40D Firmware 1.0.8

There is a new Firmware available for the Canon EOS 40D since beginning of April. I was very eager to see what changed and had to update my Camera today.

The first thing I checked was the image zoom of a taken picture. In release 1.0.5 the image got unsharp afrer the 3rd or 4rd zoom level. This annoying bug seams to be gone now. The image looks sharp until the second last zoom level. Much better than before. Bravo Canon.
