Red Flowers (Crabapple). Nikon D200. 105 mm f/2.8 Micro Nikkor. 1/3000 sec f/4.8 @ ISO 1600. May 2013. Copyright 2013 Joanne Mason.
After some diversions in various directions, it’s back to spring flowers. It had been my intention to do this in black-and-white, but as I started post processing, I decided the color effects were much too nice – warm, sensual, comforting and yet provocative. (Click image for larger.)

Red Dahlia. Nikon D200. 105mm Micro-Nikkor f/2.8. ISO 800. 1/4000 at f/6.7. Sunlight with added ring flash. Image altered in Photoshop. Copyright Joanne Mason 2012.
This explosion of red is a giant Dahlia shot outdoors in bright sunlight. All Dahlia’s are dramatic, the drama here is heightened by the treatment in post. These New Series images seek to create more stylized and expressive florals through editing in Photoshop.

The yellow converts an otherwise plain image (if any image of dahlias can be said to be plain) into something very striking.

The title is probably a misnomer. The rose isn’t vintage. But here’s another effort to produce an image that emulates a vintage film look. The rose was shot today. The roses are wilting in the southern California heat, but here and there a lovely bright one jumps out at you.

I wish I’d noted the name of these spectacular multicolor roses. Any rose fans venture a guess? With thanks to Saffronrose, I think it’s a rose called “Oranges and Lemons.” See *.
