Picture 8 of 27 from Album Single in July 2012

I decided to stick a #1 extension tube on today and wander around the yard for some close ups. I was surprised how much has changed in just a couple of weeks. Nothing blooming except some potted plants. These are Impatiens, courtesy of our local Lowes garden dept.

Impatiens, a very colourful bloom, and Pentax red. Beautiful.

Gorgeous shot Richard.
On reflection, your shots this month have all been very well thought out.

Great job - my tubes are old Asahi variety... full on manual - if yours are similar, you've done a fine job with the exposure.

I dont know if you've ever printed something like this, but I am always dissapointed by the poor colour gamut for printed reds... they always come out over saturated with a loss of detail... like clipped highlights.

Nice shot, really liking the straight-at-your-face composition, while still maintaining interesting background.
