First Macro Flower - in B&W
Posted By: Sailor, 02-17-2008, 05:45 PM

Like others, I'm taking advantage of the flowers I bought for my wife for Valentine's day. Here's a macro of a rose (sort of purple in real life), taken with my DFA 100/2.8, and converted to B&W. I've had my macro lens now for almost a year, and this is the first time (that I remember) that I've photographed a flower. Marbles are more my speed.

I think you are loosing your marbles Jer.

Interesting idea though doinf a B&W with this. It has a nice texture and pattern. The detail is great but the little hairs and dead petal tip kinda take away from the shot.

They were lost long ago, Peter. It strikes me that this flower and I are alot alike: we're both getting older, have hair growing where we don't want it and our skin is frayed around the edges.

Seriously, I enjoyed shooting this thing, but I think you're right - I need to find a fresher example before I do this again. In fact, I'll look through what else is in the series and see if I have a better example.

Anyway, as always, thanks for your comments my friend.
