Hi gang: Just wanted to share a quick photo of a neighbor's rose. This is exactly how it came straight out of the camera. No PP, no cropping. What you see is the jpeg straight from the camera. It was just a quick shot one morning while the natural dew was still on the plant.

That is a beautiful shot! And very sharp! Fantastic!

VERY nicely done!

Hi Steven,
Great capture!

It pays to get up and out in the morning with camera in hand as you never know what beauty you're going to see. well done.

Nice shot Steven. Did you use the built in flash or an external one?

This was a quick shot with an E-330, the 24-42mm Zuiko, and the buillt-in flash. I currently carpool with this lady, and just took a couple of quick shots of the rose which grows in the front of her house before we left for work. No set-ups, no pre-planning, just quick shots and let the E-330 do the work. (Both shots came out good.)

Wish I could claim it was talent, but I just tripped the shutter, the E330 did all the work.

Thanks for posting a great shot, Steven-

The color is great. Perhaps a bit of fill flash? Thanks for confirming that you used the E-330 camera and the built-in flash.

Have a great day.

Hi Sarah Joyce:
"Perhaps a bit of fill flash? "

Yes, you guessed right on that. On such photos I usually choose 1/16
fill-flash, and I think that is what I used on thse shots. The exif shows ISO-100, F8, 42mm focal length, and exposure time of 1/80 sec.

Thanks for your great tips Steven!
