Boreal jacobs-ladder blossoms in the Brooks range mountains, Alaska. Canon 5D Mark III, 100mm f/2.8 macro, 1/30 sec @ f/5.6, ISO 200.
The spring and summer wildflowers on Alaska’s tundra are nothing but spectacular. I’ve been documenting a few that I have for one reason or another, never photographed before. This is one of them, an early blooming arctic version of the common Jacobs ladder found in Alaska’s interior. The aperture of f/5.6 helps diffuse the background colors and soften the look, focusing on the few blossoms in the foreground.
