Inside Joseph's Coat

Gallery: FloraPosted April 2, 201392 views11 comments

It's that time of year again, and our Joseph's Coat roses are bursting with color. Our one bush has at least 30 blooms right now.
I suppose you'd call this a 'semi-abstract', I just call its colors amazing

F/9, 1/800th, ISO 500, 1D M3, Sigma 150mm f/2.8 and overcast with a breeze at times.
Note: The 'Purchase Print' image is slightly closer.

Wow....that is a lot of blooms on one bush! The color sure is lovely...nice closeup! I wonder why it is called Joseph's Coat?

I love the "hot ziggety" colors of this Joseph's Coat! How about a few with some of the other colors on your 30 blooms?

Some pretty intense color there, Howard, but very striking. Makes me happy just looking at it. Then I look at my own empty garden and tonight's 20 degree forecast, and I just get sad all over again.

This is the frame I ended up with. Slight levels boost & closer. F/14

Beautifully composed, Howard, with perfect dof. I especially like the way the flower centre fades from sharp to soft - expertly done !
