Superb, Sue. The chiaroscuro works very well here. Beautiful composition as well.I'm trying to stick the the 1:1 guideline and part of the reason I chose the 15mm lens is because I dont usually do very well with a wide lens. My favourite FoV falls somewhere between 35 and 150. And thats why I decided not to go with the TZ in the end... however, after only 3 days my wrists are giving out. Its been raining, but I dont really want to switch to the WR zoom so I'll see how it goes. Maybe a shot of the nasturtiums in the back yard from under a brolly.
[edit] Brolly not required. I liked the Jasmine (or whatever it is, this creeper) better. Its actually a bright orange but the fence is ugly so I decided a conversion to monochrome and a darkening of everything except the flowers, was the go. Couldnt get the same effect without converting. And the rain stopped long enough to get that.

I'm finding it hard and my lens isn't even as wide as yours. Do stick with it won't you Sue.I'm trying to stick the the 1:1 guideline and part of the reason I chose the 15mm lens is because I dont usually do very well with a wide lens.

My theme at the moment has to be whatever I find in the garden, so I hope everyone likes flowers
This was an experiment. I used the “hand held twilight” mode in bright sunshine.
Hi Barrie, I don’t mind at all. Yes you could say that, but I especially wanted to include them, as I was curious to see how that in camera processing handled the orange/yellow, as it is often rendered inaccurately in my experience.Hi Martin, personally I find my eye being drawn to the out of focus bright orange flowers in the background. I wonder if the image would be stronger framed from a position where they were not intruding or they were cropped out?
(Sorry, you're the first guinea pig I'm trying comments on, I hope you don't mind).

The tonality in this photo is simply gorgeous. Very nice work!Despite this scene being photographed quite early in the morning and it being in the shade these flowers were already being visited by pollinating insects. My aim was to keep the white Convolvulus (Bindweed) flowers from being blown out.

Open for pollination

Luke, I'll be using a pre-mixed shellac that I ordered. It just has to be stirred well before each use.Tony, I'm really enjoying watching your guitar building. Will we see how you make your shellac?
