Flower Macros (3 pics/1vid)

Flower Macros (3 pics/1vid) · 06:30 PM

It was an overcast day in San Francisco, so it was the perfect time to go photograph some flowers!

Not sure how to embed a YouTube video, but here's the link to the quick footage: YouTube - The Flower and the Bee

All the images and video were taken with the Tamron SP 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro.

I like the first one. Reds are way too saturated in the second.

If you are in SF, we're trying to organise a meetup next Sunday if you're interested.

I am game for the SF meetup. And I agree w/ the red. My K-7 always seems to blow out the reds.

Another flower macro, taken the same day:

Reduce the saturation on your camera, see if that makes a difference, red is the real problem colour.

I have the same problem with reds and purples with my K10, don't know what I'm doing wrong.

You can also try dialling down the red channel in PP.
