To take my mind off of tonight's snowfall, I pulled out the Rebel, the tripod, my bff the 50mm, the closeup filter & my newly washed microfiber cloth.
A lovely rose seemed to be my perfect muse.
The pics below are all of the same flower, I just tried out some different aperture settings. I tried the full range of f-stops, from f1.8 to 22, and really liked the looks of the f1.8 3.5 the best.
I also tried out a bit of editing, too... some of them are in black & white, some with sepia, some in just a normal color. I also adjusted the white balance on one to portrait mode, which highlighted a different part of the petals.
For the last pic, I bumped up the contrast; I like how you can see the veins of the petals. I also like the contrast between the outer and inner petals. The new ones look so pretty and dewey and new, while the outer ones are showing a bit of wear from the elements.
Enjoy.
f 1.8
f 3.5-b&w
f 3.5-sepia
f 3.5 - better focus
f 3.5 - portrait white balance
ooo, contrasty
