Looking good Mitch. I like the flower. Good depth of field.

most of them look a bit over exposed, speed up your shutterspeed or close down the aperture a stop or so and you'll get that rich color back :-)

Daniel,

Thank you for that tip. I did not adjust the shutter speed. Was trying to remember the thngs from that first class. So thats speed up the shutter so that less light gets in, right. Makes sense. Thats why the flower turned out much better. Thanks all

Mitch,
remember that you can pull up the shot info from the camera. Check your shutter speed and white balance there and then you'll know where to start from when making adjustments. Makes it easier when you are making a lot of changes looking for a particulaqr effect.
