A Rose in the Rain
Aug 24th 2009StevenFlower & Macro & Photography
I had been watching this rose for days. It’s growing in our front yard flower bed and is the only rose blooming right now. As a bud it was beautiful, but the wind never gave me a chance to shoot it. On Friday there was a soft rain falling when I remembered the rose. I had to use my hat to keep the rain from hitting the rose because every time a rain drop would hit it, the rose would move.
The image was shot using my Canon EFS 18-55mm lens and Canon EF12 II extension tube. I shot it at ISO 200 to try and help my shutter speed, but even with that the shutter speed was 1.3 seconds at f32. The softness was added in Photoshop.
