Carolyn Steele - Week 5 - Shutter Speed

Garden Lights

 Geranium in my garden (not an old plant, but the garden's been evolving for about 30 years, so I think that qualifies in my study of old gardens). Shot at F/22, 30 secs, 200mm, Nikon D-300. I used a green laser pointer to tickle the leaves and a white flashlight with homemade snoot to light the blossoms.

Falling Roses

 This one was taken in my backyard, looking at Little Cottonwood Canyon. My husband was standing on the deck, sprinkling the roses while I shot from below. I had to bump the ISO to 800 to give me enough speed (1/2000 sec) to capture the roses at F/11.
