Evening Rose 1.16

Evening Rose 1.16, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

Roses in the evening taken with the Quantaray 70-300mm Tele-Macro lens using the Built-In Flash. These roses are clippings from roses that were my Grandmother's Mother's roses, so they are about 75+ years old.

I love how the light catches the lighter colors on this rose and reflectes it back. I think that i used a-1 on the flash brightness. This photo is very detailed as you can see the whiskers on the stem and the textures of the petals.

To me, this photo is almost perfect. I love the textures and shading on the rose/ I used the flash for this photo at a -2 setting where it would not be blown out. The background is all blurred out and it looks like it is ready for a print to be made or a card. The Black&White really made this rose look amazing.

You can see the blurry red spot behind the main rose is another bloom that is really out of focus. The photo has really great Bokeh in it. The flash was tuned down -2 and i love how it gave the bloom an almost glowing effect.

Bougainvillea Macro

Bougainvillea Macro, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

This was taken using my Schneider-Kreuznach Componon 40mm f/4 Lens that i use as a Do It Yourself Macro lens. This is a perfect Macro of the delicate flower on a Bogan Via that we have at home. I love the vignetting that occurred around the photo because of the difference in Apertures and sizes in the lenses. I did not use a flash for this series of photos. This turned out to be one of the best ones in the set.

Another Macro photo of an extra stick of DDR 400 ram. I love the close up of the vacant slot where a memory chip should be. I used the HVL-F58AM for this photo.
