Rhododendron <\/h4>\n

We only have one Rhododendron bush in our yard\u2026which is far below par for southern Maine. We have, over the years, planted several more, but none of them took<\/em>. So maybe we enjoy our single bush all the more. This is an open shade shot, early in the am. I used the Super-macro setting which locks the lens at 28mm equivalent, and exposure lock<\/em> and program shift<\/em> to put the f-stop at 5.6 for greater depth of field. (The lens was just about touching the forward reaching stamen.) That put me at 1\/20th of a second for exposure, but the Canon\u2019s Optical  Image Stabilization handled it well, even sans-tripod.<\/p>\n

And if I tell you it was at ISO 80, and Programmed auto, that is all the technical data already.<\/p>\n

A touch of Fill Light to compensate for Blackpoint right for extended contrast, added Clarity and just a tiny amount of Vibrance. Sharpen landscape preset. Auto White Balance to remove the blue tinge of deep shadow.<\/p>\n

From The Yard, Kennebunk ME<\/a>. <\/p>\n
