Roses

January 21, 2014

I just love my 50.0 mm f/1.8 lens!! With a 8x close up filter and shot at aperture f/1.7, my flash did not fire and it was a bit under exposed. I used the raw file to fix the exposure. Then I applied a filter or two from Faded Films. I can`t recall but I believe I had the ISO 2000, a bit higher than what I normally do. If you love these pictures, you can license them!
