Title: A rose is a rose is a rose.
Camera: Fuji Finepix S5100.
Comment: This was taken at ISO 400 under natural light. I managed to intentionally underexpose it by about one f-stop; I then used PS to "push" the exposure to an approximate equivalent of ISO 800. I do like the result obtained and thought I would share.
Everyone is doing more than one shot, so I thought I'd continue the theme of Valentine's Day beauty. I took this rose this weekend with my Fuji FinePix S5100, natural light, ISO 100, Shutter Speed .62 seconds, f/5.0 using a tripod and 2 second self-timer to eliminate camera shake. I did some post processing on this to desaturate the color which was a bit intense.
Colchester Point, Vermont. Again, Fuji S5100. No manipulation required... ;-)
