Rose & Sax

Uploaded: October 31, 2004

Description

At the end of the final concert of the school year, the seniors give a rose to their parents. This is the rose that our son gave to us last May, along with his saxaphone and the program from that concert. I used the timer setting and a tripod with natural sunlight. ISO200, autofocus.

I agree with Theresa. I also have the Fuji Finepix s5000 and it is indeed a good camera that takes wonderful shots. Nevertheless, it is you and not the camera that I am congratulating for this picture. The way the light hits the flower and the saxaphone is truly spectacular. Was photoshop used to enhance the color, contrast, etc.? Either way, it is a truly wonderful picure; it is well framed and the exposure settings were right on the money! #881909

Thanks for the great comments, Theresa and Bryan. The only editing I did on this one was to crop it a little. The color and contrast etc. are all original. I had taken this same picture the night before and used the flash but, I wasn't really happy with the end result. The next morning (around 6) the sun was just coming up through the window and I thought it would be good to try it with the natural sunlight. I was much happier with the result.
