My daughter bought this fabric rose from a yard sale. She gave it to me because she knew that I love taking pictures of flowers. When I saw it, my immediate idea is to shoot this flower up close highlighting the petals and giving it a soft look with a very slight grain added to it. This is the shot I got after post processing.


Nikon D70, 50mm lens, ISO 200, f/22 at 1/400 second.

and this is my lighting setup:


Thanks again for viewing.

New guy here. I have spent the last week drinking in the forum. I feel quite honored to be among so much fantastic talent, thanks. When I saw the image, my first thought was wow! TFS.

Thank you very much for viewing, novicesnapper. I was very much helped in my photography by the good people here at DGrin. This November would be my 1st year in photography! Can't wait to learn more.
