Photographer's Note
Hi, nice to see you again in this third part of In Quest for Nektars.
These flowers are growth everywhere in my tiny garden, so i try to take some photos, and i decided to upload this one.
When i took this photo, i only have 1 flash (SB-16), and its giving so much trouble, since the power is very big (GN=42 max). To avoid overexposure, i bounced the flash.
Here came another problem. The flash power decreased more than a half, thus make me have to use big aperture, resulting over exposured background.
I find that fuji slides give very good colour for nature photograph. Too bad, they cost me too much (about US$25 a roll, processing only), so i'm using slide only if i feel i need to.
Post processing : some despeckle and color balancing. Minimum unsharp mask to compensate loss of sharpness from original scanned photo.
Thank you for your kind attention, see you later.

I like the repeating composition with the shallow depth of field. The halo around the main flower from sharpening is noticeable and a bit distracting.

Cantik sekali dan tajam objeknya terutama sekali kuntum yang terdekat. Selepas itu ketajamannya berlarutan secara progresif hingga ke kuntum ke 3. Baik ideanya Amri.
Dan meletakkan subjeknya ditepi kiri memungkinkan pelawat melihat kuntum kuntum yang lain, tetapi tidak mengalih perhatian dari yang kuntum utama/pertama.
