    Rose

    Playing around with ambient light. I thought these came out OK ??
    What I don't understand Is when I opened them up in Nikon CaptureNX3 one out of 8 was red all shots are of the same rose which is white ???

    Shot a F22

    Anyway thanks for looking

    I love the last one. The red gives it a pop. Great composition and lighting. Well done.

    Excellent use of rule of thirds in placement of the subject!

    The b&w version, #2 is my fav. Looks great in b&w but also there is more detail to behold such as the stem ever so visible, which is not in the color version.
    Very nice use of neg space. . nicely done.

    Thank for the kind words and the sticky

    I am not sure I would believe this story either but here goes
    The flower is white there are just different angles.
    I imported them with ACD pro then opened them with trial version of Nikon capture NX2 and only one of them was RED ??? I liked it so i sharpened is and made a few adjustments.
    Didn't really like CaptureNX2 so I removed it. After your question I downloaded it again and opened the folder with the flowers and now a different flower is RED the one like the first one. I can't explain it any better than this.
    Looks pretty cool though :idea:

    Re: Rose

    The pictures are beautiful. The photography is outstanding. But I think the flowers are artificial. Is that correct ? Also, how did you capture this amount of ambient light?
    Where the pictures taken outside by any chance?
