This is not hi-tech shot !

[RudyMiculescu]

Hello I'm back again with this !



This is not a hi-tech image quality but i like the result, I await your critiques.

I use a simple red rose on a black bg near a natural source of light - I used the on camera flash with a single sheet of paper to dissipate the light.

EXIF here:

Camera SAMSUNG DIGITAL IMA SAMSUNG GX20
Exposure 0.017 sec (1/60)
Aperture f/11.0
Focal Length 180 mm
ISO Speed 400
Exposure Bias 0 EV
Flash On, Fired
Lens Tamson 70-300mm Di Macro 1:2

That's a great capture.

Thanks for sharing.

Really nice shot! Well executed! I like the light on the edge of the rose! And the background is distraction-free!

One thing, I noticed that at full size, the photo is not so clear. You might want to sharpen it a bit!

the sharpen thing - This is not hi-tech shot ! as the title says - i do not posses the equipment for shooting in low light situations

(P.S. Salutari si tie ! )

What is your question?

[RudyMiculescu]

the question is self suggested by the title "This is not a hi-tech shot !" - what to do to improve my shots with my current gear

[windrider86]

sorry, i just didnt catch that without a question mark. I assumed it was a statement

Now, for your photo. I personally think that there should be more room in front of the flower than in the back. Just feels odd to me to have empty space behind it.
It also feels a tad too dark

ok, I will try to keep the free space in front of the subjects
