Calvin brought me home flowers the other day. :lust I seen it as an opportunity to try snapping a few flower shots. There won't be any natural flowers around here for at least another couple of months... :wxwax

I sprayed the rose with water beforehand and cropped it using PSP7. No flash; natural light coming in through the window on the right. ISO 100; F3.5

    Natural Velvet

    Same settings. Used PSP to crop and add radiance.

    I need a tripod! So hard to get clear shots when I'm not using my flash! umph.gif

    More fun with filters... Didn't like the fact that the rose had dust in the creases...

    I like the first shot, but would like perhaps a tighter crop?

    The color is dazzling on the rest, but the water droplets are so numerous, I'm distracted and I can't decide if I should be looking at them or the rose. I'd try it again but attempt larger and fewer droplets.

    I like the daisy, but I find myself wishing the exposure was increased. Do you shoot RAW? Because the natural lighting is nice, but sometimes being able to help the exposure along is nice to.
