View Full Version : Simple cyclamen
(try saying that over and over again, quickly :lol:)
Just a quick play with the Sigma 150mm macro and 20D this morning - indoors, natural light.

Thanks for looking, folks - comments welcome :thumbs:
I think the blue background works here :)
Theres a little white thing right at the bottom of the petal though, maybe clone that out? :)
would have been a good entry for this month's competition! :thumbs:
Thanks guys :thumbs:
Betty - that's part of the bloom, so I left it in for botanical completeness :)
Mike - thanks - maybe - but I prefer my current one :)

I like it - but it looks a bit soft... maybe that's what you wanted?
I see from the exif that your shutter speed was 1/6th second. Did you use a tripod or handheld?
Lovely shot I like the contrast between the pink of the flower and the blue of the sky fantastic.:)

Very nice shot, and I like the fact that you left the little white thing in for completeness.

Very nice mate, well done.
Many thanks Brian, John, Donna, Cas, Barbara and Gary - much appreciated :thumbs:
Brian - yes, 'twas a tripod - I deliberately didn't over-sharpen it, as I favour the softer look: I think it can add warmth and 'feel' to the subject in some floral shots :)
John - was shot indoors :) - one of our bedrooms has dark blue walls, and I positioned the specimen on a bean bag next to the window!
Donna - praise indeed from someone who does floral photography better than most - thanks :D

Lovely shot
Good shot - the background really highlights the pink.
