[QUOTE="gqtuazon, post: 23597, member: 6573"] Nicely done Marcel. It's something that I should try. I agree that the petals were over exposed. I've done a lot of similar rookie mistakes myself using this combo. Then I tried using spot metering instead of matrix metering, use -.3 EV, Neurtal picture control and usually hand hold my camera since I'm too lazy to carry a tripod. A single focus point might work better instead of the 51 point. Here is a sample using matrix metering and standard picture control. The petals are a little saturated but not too exagerated with this image. I had worse ones. D700 + 24-70mm f2.8 [ATTACH]3412._xfImport[/ATTACH] Spot metering. I had to adjust my minimum focusing distance a bit and you'll notice that the bokeh changes quite a bit. All were hand held. [ATTACH]3413._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
