DSLR Photography Forum

For all the flower junkies here...

I know that most of you are not too keen on flower shots, but I will post these anyway. I'm quite proud of my raw file treatment, nothing is actually blown out. This was a bit difficult with the reds and whites. If it looks blown out, it's your monitor. (My monitor doesn't show any detail above 240-240-240 or so, either)

I think I will need a new monitor soon, because I can see your white roses blown out and bigger if it were possible.... just not to miss the details

You have to stand in line, dear - they look blown out on my screen too.

I only see a small bit of white that is blown out. Still, nice shots. I do find though, that the first is lacking some sharpness and #2's depth of focus is a bit too deep. The closer rose on the right is a bit out of focus. Probablt just standing a little to close while taking the shot.

I'd also like to see more of what it is that you have there in the flower garden. I see a set of steel cogs.

I love flower shots, G,and these are very nice! I like the colour and DOF on #1 - the red stands out and is complimented at the same time by the green foliage. #2 has some interesting stonework to break up the image.

Heheh, good to see these forums are useful for shopping requests for spouses too!
