A Rose by maggiemae

A Rose

There was a challenge here - to photograph in a darkish place and get good focus with a longer exposure and a tripod or get more light for that focus. I used the tripod. I did want to portray that wonderful colour!
Three Good Things:
1. There were 4 of these beautiful roses laying down on the earth with recent wind so I gave them a new life in a vase with cold water.
2. Our area was not as hot as others in NZ today. Very pleasant actually!
3. A new book.
Love this. The frilly edge is wonderful.

How wonderful 365 is, I have just commented on an amazing photo from someone in Ontario Canada who is living in -20 & showing frozen sea etc & next minute your photo that just sums up warm perfumed beautiful summer & both taken at similar times at either hemisphere of our world. It certainly opens our eyes. A new book sounds good, I’m just trying to get started on a new one too.

@happypat I do agree - Canada and Chicago are getting so cold! The new book is set in Australia and surprisingly good!

Yes of course your son is over that way.....you will know first hand, hope they are keeping warm! I’m struggling with my book, haven’t had time to get a good go at it yet so everytime at night I pick it up so have to remind myself what’s gone before!

@happysnaps This was the 'dark' area where I had to have a longer exposure and the tripod to keep it still!

This is so beautiful. The color is gorgeous and the detail you have captured in your photo is very nice. Worth all your effort in my opinion

@grammyn It was the detail in the centre of the rose that I found so hard to get, Katy! Not perfect (like the rose)!
