I know the Desert Rose is supposed to be a bit dry but these were taken after a rain shower this morning please give me all the feedback you can positive and negative.
Good looking image. I have never seen one of these in person.
Thanks We have only had them for a few months I had not seen any in person and any I have seen in Pictures before in flower have lost all the leaves but this one has flowered with the leaves still on.
There must be something wrong with the pic's as I have only taken a handful of this type of image and need experience with processing so please tell me how I can improve my technique.
Not that I'm an expert like H in terrestrial shots but they look nice and crisp to me.
Cheers Daniel.
Thanks Daniel
I do like the way they have turned out. I am hoping that someone like H can give me some tough critque and help me improve. As there is always room for improvement and if you don't crash and burn a few times you can't get better.
My first piece of advice would be to shoot either early morning or late afternoon. By this, I mean, within 15 minutes of the sun having risen, and, thirty minutes either side of the sun setting.
Light, light, light. The quality of light makes or breaks landscape images.
Any other pearls are welcome I have noticed variablility in the ability to get down to f 2.8 when I do the speed goes red which I think must mean that it is not viable?
To me they both look a bit dark but its hard to comment without lens & camera information. The backgorund in pic 2 is a tad bright and if the camera was set to measure the exposure over the whole image may result in under exposed subject. Nice plant and flowers.

Not bad for a compact digital camera Warren and am not sure if you used a macro setting. Certainly its a very fast shutter speed. The first image cold probably be improved by cropping out some of the background but the colour is nice.

I was using the macro setting on these. Thanks for your comments
