May 17, 2004

Severe thunderstorm warning in effect on the way home today. It seems to have missed me.

Note: A newly edited version of this image was swapped in since Russ P.'s comment. I was looking into Paint Shop Pro 8.0 today and discovered that my new computer has a 60 day trial version installed. I sharpened this a bit and also turned up the saturation a little, so the pale yellow is not as pale. This is approximately the same crop. I'm amazed at the increased sharpness. I don't see any negative effects from the sharpening. Sorry for the change. I think this one "pops" a lot more.

Nikon Coolpix 3100
1/200s f/5.6 at 5.8mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

COOL! I didn't see the previosu one, but I use the unsharp mask tool in PS on almost everything! Mark, you need PSCS, we'll talk!! Esp if you are getting the D70, your going to want it, trust me! It's like a darkroom, and you used to LOVE the darkroom!

Superb Mark...little crystal diamonds shine on the petals..you captured it that well.

Love your flower shots. Still have your rose on desktop. Erica comes in and comments on how beautiful it is...I almost was tempted to take credit;)

Wow, Mark, this is really great! Love that composition! Beautiful detail!
