Every Tuesday I plan to go over to the Growers Market and take pictures of the lovely flowers they have on display. Every Tuesday I balk at taking the time to drive all the way over to Ashland to spend half an hour walking around the Growers Market. I’ve been using the smoke as an excuse but today I have no excuse. But I had a vase of flowers on hand that I picked up at Fred Meyer and it felt more comfortable to work with those instead. After 25 or so clicks of the shutter this is really the only one I liked. I wish the composition had put the center of the rose a little more out of the center of the picture but otherwise it is exactly what I am looking for in a rose picture. In post processing I adjusted the color a little but I still did not get the deep red that the flower actually was. I am noticing that the M3 does not do well with reds and purples. I also added a high pass filter and since I was shooting at high ISO I ran it through a denoise program.
