Fire Flower

Uploaded: February 03, 2009

Description

ISO100,Cloudy,Manual,f/4,1/6sec,100mm Macro lens @@ I'm not sure of the name of this flower, but I was tired of seeing normal shots of flowers, so I tried to come up with something different. Once I started looking at this flower, I noticed it looked like a flame dancing in a fire - so I used a smaller aperture to blur most of the flower, but left some of the petals in the back clear. I held up a piece of blue construction paper behind the flower to block out the dullness of my living room walls. This was taken in front of my living room window on a cloudy day.

Exif: F Number: 4, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 8/5 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 100.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XSi
