Default When the rain comes down .....

It was time to get some shots so out with the tripod and the rose tutorial I have been wanting to try ...









Found the tutorial on my magazine insightful and will be trying the leaf art and grass art next .... hope you like.. may also give smoke a go ... anyone know a quick way to do water drops in case the rain stays longer?

I think these are probably some of your best work to date Mark, beautifully planned and captured and expertly presented, I like the colour, the detail, the light, shade and composition, they are a pleasure to view mate, good job

A gorgeous set exposing the beauty and pattern of the petals. I enjoyed it very much. Hope the rain clears up soon for you. Plenty of time for all that inside stuff later on when winter settles in!

A beautiful set of rose photographs. Really good macro shots. Clear focus and composition.

Gorgeous work FoG. Love the shadows and light on the rose petals. It really adds depth to them.
