Good Evening Friends:
This 'After the Rain' Rose is just for you all. I had a small series of shots on some roses to test my lens for color settings on my camera. I had a job that required near perfection in the colors of the subject, and I just wanted to see how close it may match.
So this was really a test shot to see how my Canon 5D was doing.
The Reds are the best way to test the color match. I had set my Shutter Speed to as slow as 2 Sec. and using ambient lights partly from a window. I found that I was able to match the color with naked eye one could not tell the difference. So I was please. The color of reds had a shift it I would turn on the strobe or any kind of tungsten light.
There is nothing much done to this image for color. I have opened this in Adobe Illustrator CS3 and done a little art work for fun.
Thanks for watching.
David

Hi David, A beautiful red rose well presented. You have inspired some of my recent photos. Perfect setup and well presented in your series. TFS. Murray.

You have posted some great photos recently David, I am sorry I have missed them.

In addition to this being the most recent, the framing made this one jump out at me. The frame, water droplets, clarity, strength of colour - all simply superb. Very good shot indeed, the best rose shot I've seen on here for some time.
