Raindrops on Roses

2007.04.25



On Saturday, I was out and about and stopped to take photos of the roses in the rose garden in front of the Goldy Lewis Community Center here in Rancho. I was very happy with how the well the Coolpix did with them. It was overcast and had rained overnight so there was even lighting and raindrops still on the roses. They were beautiful. I was in heaven. I am loving my Coolpix. :)

Carley These are perfect! I'm with pattyb on the colors and the raindrops! Also I am in awe of the focus (since that's what I'm trying to perfect at the moment.) Nice to see it done right!!

vollenda Thanks :) I can't really take credit for the focus because I had the Coolpix set to macro mode and it picked the shutter speed and aperture. It does help that it has a 3" screen so I can check the focus before I take it. They were all taken at F4.2 with shutter speeds ranging from 1/100 sec to 1/320 sec.

Shamana Sweet...:)
The shutter speed and the aperture can be indirectly influenced by setting the iso and white balance in manual mode. Also, mine has a pre-focus (upon half-pressing the shutter release the camera moves the lens) and multifocal points - these also help me in macro but take some time.

photopoet Lush, sumptuous, beautifully composed. I love this set.

kangshung I agree with photopoet - very lush and sumptuous! I am a bit puzzled by your move from a D200 to a Coolpix - I am looking at updating to a D200.

Tachikama beautiful! wow!

Jannie Oooo, these are so rich I can almost smell the roses!

Richard, I think the allure is the fascination with the new toy. Pocket camera! Can't stuff your D200 in your pocket!!
