Dahlia on Yellow
Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 22 October 2009 in Plant & Nature.
I'm back. My sister leaves today. We have had a lovely visit--especially precious as we live on opposide sides of the country and only see each other twice a year.
Creating my own textures means that, until I get better at photographing textures, my textured images will not look as good as they did when I was using the gorgeous textures created by others. I'm enjoying the challenge.
*****THANK YOU FOR VISITING ANITA'S PHOTOBLOG!*****
I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.
If I have made a mistake in a flower identification, please let me know!
A few words about the EXIF data, beginning in April when I began using Nikon D300 and the Sigma 105mm macro: My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site.
@Piia: Thank you for visiting and commenting.

this is lovely......i'm sure you'll get the hang of shooting textures quickly.....just have to keep you eyes open all the time for the detail in things!!

Well you can't fault this texture !!! This is lovely. I like the transparency of this shot and the light luscious colors, not to mention that flower with its curly petals !
Glad you are back, but also glad you had that time with your sister.

Love the even softness in this . . I feel flowers are often over-sharpened and you have it right here.

Are you being a little too hard on yourself regarding shooting textures? ;) It looks to me that you have created a perfect match between the flower and subtle texture.

@Sue: Thank you, Sue. I think what you are hearing in my words is my frutration at not being able to use some textures created by others that I love, but haven't yet been able to replicate. I could use them, but not if I'm going to show my work at particular venues.

I think your texture looks great here. The yellow complements the center of the flower and the hint of pink in the textured background is highlighted by the petals and visa versa.
