It’s that time again, time for the Love Your Shot! Link-Up. This week I’m featuring the color red…it’s happy, exciting, and dynamic…and it’s my favorite color. What better way to feature red than with a red rose…
Whenever I’m shooting flowers, I always look for opportunities to combine them with man-made materials, such as wrought iron fencing, gates, or wooden structures. Including these elements in the composition adds contrast and gives it a unique quality. I shot this photo in the evening and wanted to experiment with adding just a touch of grain to my photo. I used a very high ISO of 1600. My exposure time was 1/100 sec. with my f-stop set to f5.6. I love the results! And with the addition of a vertical texture from my Olde World Collection, my photo was complete.
How do you experiment with your photos? Do you try different settings that are outside your comfort zone? Do you like to combine different elements or experiment with unique compositions? We’d love to hear your tips, so click on over to Love that Shot and link-up your photos!
