Good Morning My Friends at TrekLens:
I had captured this a few days ago and was not sure if I would put this up. But then, this morning I thought I would...
The reds in this flower is so very beautiful but it was hard to capture. The glow from the reflective lights of the petals kind of makes it hard to catch the fine details.
But here it is, as good as it gets. I am testing the Macro lens at a higher shutter speed and in this one it it 250.
Have fun shooting & sharing.
Thanks for all your visits & comments on my previous posts.
David

Hi David :)

It's a real pleasure to come and visit your rose' garden ! Amazing shots, full of colours and so great :) I like this particularly because the heart of the flower is out of frame, excellent job !
Take care my dear friend :)

Awesome photo of the flower David. Looks like a dahlia, and what a pretty red. I was told to set my camera on tungsten (I haven't yet) to get the REAL red look, but this looks great. I have some roses out the back that NEVER look true.
Well done
Jancie

Hello David...
My favorite color.. I really love how you have framed this...Happy you chose to share it with us... Reminds me I have not purchased myself a bouquet in sometime for photography needs ;)

Hi David, this will make a superb valentine card.
The flowe is beautifully captured and so sharp!
The red is so bright!
And against this black frame it stands out very nicely.
Thx. Yan :)

Ps, how do like your 50mm macro lens? I am thinking of buying the EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM.
