Description

Final photo for Rules of Composition. With this one I broke the rules by placing the flower dead center of the frame. I think it looks really good. I did have to do a bit of editing in Elements as the flower was seaping some nectar that was distracting. So I cloned over top of those few spots. Ap- Priority, 1.3 sec., f/29,ISO 200, 135mm with 500D diopter, WB daylight, Tri-pod, IS off, Mirror Lock on, Self Timer.

Exif: F Number: 29, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 13/10 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 200, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 135.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 40D
