Dick brought home a bouquet of tulips just so I could practice on fresh flowers! What a guy! So, on went a different lens. This was a challenge to start with something I have never before done: selecting aperture for depth of field. I took these without tripod and in front of a window where outside it was charcoal-dark. There was just the tiniest hint of "daylight" left. No artificial lights in the room. I wanted the tulips to appear back-lit (as they were, even though dusk-lit), yet bright and with shallow DOF.
I wanted this white one to show its ever-so-faint pink edges and a sort of glow. I think I over- exposed here!
Same back-lighting at dusk; tulip leaves. I love the color my camera puts forth! I do NOT like to enhance my photos; I love whatever Nature puts forth to stay that way. This is so natural; just like the fresh green the stems really are and I am pleased.
I can be pleased with the color because it is simply part of my great new camera. I can't take any credit for it. But I am happy to see it.
