Purple Rose...

Purple Rose..., originally uploaded by RMStringer.

This was taken in Midlothian Virginia where i used to live.


I used a Black Flash mode with Apature Priority to take this photo. I turned out very clear and if you look, you will see a rain drop on one of the petals. I also used the Cloudy weather setting. The flash did not wash out the flower like happens a lot when you do a macro.

Exposure: 0.01 sec (1/100)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 60 mm
ISO Speed: 400
