Bonsai, Penjing, Capitol Columns, Chrysanthemum Stones, and Flowers at the National Arboretum

Back in November I went to the National Arboretum for the first time. Not a whole lot was in bloom, but there were things worth photographing, such as the Bonsai, Penjing, chrysanthemum stones, and a handful of flowers.

I used my Canon EOS 5D Mark II with Canon L-series 24-105mm short zoom and 17-40mm wide angle lenses. I also used a Speedlite 580 EXII for some of the pictures.

I touched up the pictures using Adobe Lightroom 2.3 and Photoshop Elements 7.0. I used Photomatix Professional to create the high dynamic range shots of the Capitol Columns
