Opinions on capturing rose with camera

16 years ago

One of the roses bloomed at the Park of Roses in Columbus, and I have been fiddling with my basic Kodak M381 camera to try and capture the most realistic coloring and imaging of roses as possible. These next 3 pics were taken around 7:30pm, so the sun was setting, but the lighting was still adequate. I took these shots with a flower close-up feature on the camera, but also played with those settings a bit. Which one of you capturing experts do you think appears most true to realistic form?

A: Standard Flower-close up shot

B: Same as A, but utilizing camera's one click enhancement settings which tends to raise the brightness and slightly saturate certain colors more.

C: A retry of shot B, but using the "high color" feature on the camera, THEN enhancing it with the software. The colors appear to be oversaturated in my opinion...or in other words just that..."high color". The enhancement of the high color causes the yellows to be blotchy and obviously edited when viewed in 100% original size.

I was hoping to take videos of the roses as well, but having only the digital camera video system on the camera I took these photos with...it's ummm....well...relatively low quality.
