red canna

Is a model release on file if needed? (Yes/No/NA) 

n/a

What day was the photo taken? 

taken 07/09/10

Photo Description 

a red canna taken with a canon 450D rebel dslr. used a tamron 17-50 f2.8 lens at 50mm f8 and 1/250s shutter speed. i tried to take advantage of a cloudy day to get some shots out of the extremely bright sun that has been the norm lately and lucked into some rain which looked good on the flower.

Advice 

  • my normal flower shots are taken with my 300mm lens. this day i tried using my shorter zoom. easy to get comfortable with doing things one way. but, it is good to change now and again.
