Violet

This flower caused me exposure issues! Initially, when using my spot metering, the photo was way overexposed. I know this happens sometimes with pinks, purples and yellows (at least those are the colors where I've noticed it the most). I had to really underexpose this to get the color I wanted.

Lens: Nikon 60mm f2.8 Micro
Focal Length: 60mm
Aperture: 5.0
Shutter Speed: 1/320
ISO: 100

Aside from a tiny bit of sharpening, this one is straight out of the camera! :)

Blooms

I love the pretty, pastel colors in these flowers.

Sunday Six 2.0: Week 16

For this week's Sunday Six I have all garden photos. Yesterday I woke up way too early. It was a bit cloudy, so I headed down to the Atlanta Botanical Garden. By the time I got into the gardens around 9:30 or so, it was already a bit too sunny for a lot of outdoor photos. I managed to grab a few decent ones though.


Southern snow! I didn't think to check out what sort of tree this is, but we have white ones and pink ones that cover the sidewalks and roads with buds.




This is new at the garden, although I'm not quite sure of the exact theme behind the sculpture.




A pretty, green fern. I really liked the punchy green of this photo.


This one took several shots, but I finally managed to get a decent focus on the drops. I have another very similar photo that I'm posting for the Virtual Photowalk.

Until next week . . .
