Berries and greens

Gallery: FloraPosted December 21, 2012141 views10 comments

On a recent rainy day, I had an indoor photo shoot with some sprigs from my Cottoneaster bushes which grow along our front sidewalk. I thought this was very appropriate to post so near Christmas since it looks like it could be a Christmas card!

Canon Rebel T1i. 180mm macro lens. F/18 for 30 sec. ISO 200. Tripod mounted, Speedlite flash fired/bounce flash off ceiling.

As fine a set of reds as I think I've ever seen in an image. Appropriate for Christmas indeed. Gorgeous...

Carolyn - This is a great selection for the festive season. Looks pretty stunning - both the opposing diagonal composition as well as the striking colors.

Your composition is outstanding with the angled branch "holding up" that wonderful set of leaves and berries. Very nice! Happy holidays.
