these roses are not so red

Roses

 

Next to our garage, we have this huge bush of roses that towers over my head. It must be seven or eight feet tall. They are like no roses I have ever seen. There are thousands of blooms covering the entire bush. Thorns? Oh yeah, there are thousands of those too.

 

Exposure 0.003 sec (1/320)
Aperture f/4.5
Focal Length 26 mm
ISO Speed 100

 

 

To get the shot, I got down low and focused on the leading flowers. I then offset the camera to get the nice bokeh in the background. The round bokeh is formed by the morning light filtering through the trees behind.

  1. Renee… they have many times in the past. I am wary around these bad boys now.
    Sherry… You may be right. I googled knock out roses and saw some similar images. BTW, I am really proud of you and your new job. You are the best sister-friend ever. 🙂
