Challenge: Flora II (Basic Editing)
Camera: Canon PowerShot SD700 IS
Location: my backyard
Date: Oct 6, 2007
Aperture: f5.6
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/400
Galleries: Macro, Floral
Date Uploaded: Oct 7, 2007

 My Rebel's still broken and still not replaced, so I'm using the SD700 again. I LOVE the macro mode on this thing. I just stuck the camera in the mum and started shooting. I took about 75 pictures in 15 minutes. It was a great overcast sky and the morning dew was still on the flowers. I couldn't have asked for better conditions. I did bump the exposure down to -1.

Post Process:
Crop, resize, Shadow/Highlight, levels, Noise Ninja, USM

I need a 6.1257 to take the top slot for the SD700 away from my wife. I think I may be able to do it with this shot, but I could be hurt by the softness on the front and back of the bud.

good composition and colors. It does appear a bit noisey though but still a lovely shot.
