Another "Dew On Rose"

[ypurcaro]

This time, I raised the F stop so I can grab a wider area of the flower. This photo was taken in the morning at around 9 am. The sun was not so bright at that time. I used tripod for this shot. Yet, I'm still not satisfy with it because it is not sharp. The lens I used was 60mm/f2.8 macro. Do you have any suggestions?



Please click on the photo for the EXIF data. Thank you.

Please post your exif info for us here. It makes it soooooooooooooo much easier than having to flip back and forth from one page to another. txs

A lovely shot, but the white area to the left is distracting, and you have just lost a bit of the leaf on the left.

it is a great shoot and sharp image to, but you don't have a perspective to it and is to dead center, the background is to messy next time try to place a black sheet of paper or some dark tone to create a better image impact ! nature on black

That is a nice suggestion. Do you carry a black sheet of paper with you when you go out shooting?

Thanks for letting me know, I didn't even think of that. See, obviously I'm a rookie.

I think the image is quite sharp, the drops look quite clear,
the white background on the left I find distracting, ? take shot from the left into the darker background,
I would like the rose to fill the frame a bit more, but I think you are on the right track, just need to look at the composition a bit more
Cheers

Thanks Annwen. The composition part is tough and I'm learning. But meanwhile, I would like to understand more about the exposure more. Thanks again.
