I featured a green mum back in August, and that one turned out really well as a tricolor shot. So I tried this one as a monochrome and it worked out not too bad. The flower was white, so that helped get things into the classic monochrome mode. I shot one on manual and this one on Program and this one turned out better – on manual, I was trying to shoot at about 2.8 and it didn’t quite get an entire flowerette in. So I decided to get the shot based on focus points and Program set this up at 4.0 and it got what I wanted to get done, done.
I’m thinking that had I been shooting in better light, and with more time, I would have been able to setup in Manual, but this is one of those instances where it shows how it is important to be able to know and understand what your equipment will do when it does the thinking for you.
