Rose study

Today I started taking photos of my bargain roses from Aldi's. I thought it'd be a good time to test out the color settings on my camera. I think the results are interesting and surely they'll find their way into some of my mixed media pieces.

My lovely thrifted vase (49cents! and it's green):

Camera set to "warm" color:

Camera set to sepia:

Camera set to black and white:

Camera set to "natural" - and this is actually a true color representation. They are the softest pinks and yellows and smell really amazing. That doesn't happen much with roses when you buy them anymore.

Then, I started messing with it a bit - wouldn't this be lovely on a Valentine with some soft white scripty text?

One of the other roses. It looks so lovely that I wish I could just crawl into that center section.
