Japanese Stewartia

Playing with shutter speed and aperture tonight. I think I am getting a little better - it was getting darker and shooting in low light with my camera presents some challenges. Anyway - the first few were dark - them overexposed - this wasn't bad. Yay. Still room for improvement - it's a science getting ISO/shutter speed/aperture all in sync! I have learned so much here.
Tagging in word of day 'fragile' as the petals are as fine as rice paper and very short lived.

Great job with the exposure. I think it looks wonderful. Lovely shot!

Beautiful composition!

Well done. Low light is hard. I'm a Nikon shooter, but I think the Canons do better in low light.

[Kathryn 🐎]

They look beautiful Jan. Great shot of them. I am still trying to work out my camera. I like the 35mm lens for low light.

[Valerie D]

Nicely done. Low light is tough, but you nailed this.
