Flowies

Not my mother this time, but our Grandaughter Lucy-anne, who couldn’t say ‘flowers’ all those years ago.

After we’d finished blitzing the conservatory yesterday, Carole said “those (fake) red flowers need to go upstairs, they don’t go.” I said I’d be using them for my AYWMC weekly homework and would put them back upstairs when I’d done. Just had lunch and took 20 minutes or so to have a play for todays flash of red ......

Thank you for your views, comments and favs on yesterday’s offering. Much appreciated.
Beautiful shot

Wonderful closeup. Not sure what the difference is between closeup snd macro. 😊

Don't banish them completely, I think they are lovely.....

So neat how processing can make them so pale.

@farmreporter Processing was all in the camera. Shot deliberately in B&W with aperture, speed and white balance adjusted accordingly to get what I wanted. Downloaded to phone and posted.

Well done!!

@farmreporter Thanks. Get it wrong more often than not 😜

I checked your Exif Info to see what settings you used but it did not let me know.
Out of curiosity, what were your settings?

@farmreporter
My phone, for reasons only known to my phone, is stripping all exif data at the moment. It didn’t before.

Taken with a Tamron SP 90mm macro lens in manual

1/100
f5.6
White balance +2 2/3
ISO2500

Shot in conservatory, against a white backcloth with 2 x Arc lights on either side of subject.

Oh - you have a wonderful studio type set up! I am thinking of doing something similar in our spare basement bedroom.
February 8th, 2021  
@farmreporter kind of ad-hoc but yes we do. It comes in very handy for both of us, particularly Carole who is far better at still life than I will ever be.

@phil_sandford So many photos are shared on social media and some people didn’t like things like location posted with the photo. So some software now has a setting to say whether you want all or parts of the exif transmitted. Maybe you have a setting somewhere on your phone.

Very elegant simplicity. You've driven home the advantage of having a home studio.

They make a great b&w - perhaps you can dye them black and white to go with your decor?! 🤣

@lyndamcg I shall run that suggestion via the boss when she gets home later 😜
