Known by more names than is good for it the Milk Thistle - Silybum marianum is a common weed or flower depending on your point of view. Famous of course as being the flower of Scotland it is also well known for being extremely prickly as anyone who has ever tried picking one will testify. This image is the result of a 13 image focus stack.

I'm a UK based freelance photographer who particularly likes old things, churches, industrial heritage, old machinery . . . and then by contrast like nature and wildlife too. I'm a dedicated tripod geek - my camera very rarely gets used 'off tripod' as many of my shots are taken in low light or require large DOF. Sometimes I shoot an image for use 'as is' - but I also like to get creative so shoot with the intention of combining multiple exposures - another great reason for being on the tripod. Just about the only thing you won't see in my portfolio are people.
