Dizi learns photography!

Lovely pics, D1zi. I particularly like that blousey peachy rose! Do you know what it's called and is it scented?

Your poser there looks similar to my Cal.

I can't give any advice as I'm still learning and I haven't got a clue what camera is what, so I'll just oooh and aaah occasionally.

Well done!

 

Thanks Kandy and LOL

LOL I don't know what the rose is called, I bought it from a local college that have a garden centre where the students can sell what they grow, it didn't have a label, but it's a climer and it's really spread well in the couple of years I've had it, and yes it smells heavenly

 

You lucky lady! I'd have one in a moment.

 

The college is the best garden centre around for miles.

Kandy do you go there? It is Moulton College.

 

Diz, does it flower through to first frosts or only June?

 

I'm pretty sure it flowers right through (hoping I haven't got it confused with any of the other roses)

 

Dizi,yes we go to Moulton College Nursery when we remember.Our favourite is Poddington,which is a bit of a trek for us,but we like it there and it has some good plants

 

Ooh I don't think I've been there, I'll have to pay it a visit, thanks for that I am sick to death of Wyvale who seem to have bought all the local places out

 

Hi Dizi, do any of these look like your rose? click on Photos tab for more pics, click on individual thumbnails for bigger pics.

Hey you're getting good there; the second rose shot, pic#3, the background is a bit distracting, if you can alter the exposure so that you are using a larger aperture (smaller number = larger aperture) that will tend to throw the background out of focus.



In this shot the part of the trellis toward the top right is hardly noticeable and the leaves are somewhat "subdued"



This one is almost overdone, the whole background is just a diffused blur, no sign of the stem and the leaves are almost lost.

 

OK I'll try that. Thanks

 

Fantastic Photo's Dizi.They all look good to me

 

Thank you Kandy

 

Great photos Dizi - I am a beginner too so am reading all these tips with great enthusiasm - just gotta out them into practice :D
