Doug Rosenoff captured this image of a Cuphea Bat flower on the 1st of August 2006 using a Canon EOS 20D camera. This image has been positioned in the centre of the frame however the main target is in the lower left-hand corner. The background is blurred adding a crisper detail to the flower. As there is nothing else in the photo to distract the viewer the Cuphea is automatically the main focal point. Doug Roseoff has taken this photograph in colour on his camera and then edit in a photo editing software E.G Photo-shop. Rosenoff has changed the brightness and contrast levels to add a darker tone and bring out sharper detail. In addition he has converted the close up shot into a low-contrast black and white print.

This Tulip captured by Doug Rosenoff was taken in Feburary the 23rd 2007 using a Canon EOS 20D. The image has been framed around the subject of a singular Tulip focusing on the bud and two of its petals. It has been composed in a portrait, central position of the frame using a close-up shot. The background has been faded and is blurry providing the prime focus. Rosenoff has used an editing software (Photo-shop) to convert the colored version into black and white. He also would have changed the brightness and contrast of the image. This provides the photograph with the final low-contrast display. I like how this photograph is light and has a calm feel to it. You can tell that the original coloring of the flower was bright and didn't include a lot of dark shadows. This image includes clear rain droplets. These add an almost 3d effect as they are bubble. I like how you can see the detailed lining on the petals, giving a rough texture. For my experiments i hope to try to capture images of flowers and convert them into black and white but leaving a low contrast appearance. I would also like to tryout the way this photograph has been composed. E.g a portrait, close-up shot. I might tryout photos which are wet, leaving water droplets on the flower.

This photograph of Sakura Blossoms vaken by photographer Doug Roseneoff were taken on April 5 2007 using a Canon EOS 20D camera. The image has been composed in the middle - left of the frame fore-ground, which becomes the focal point of the piece. It shows just one simple but delicate trio of sukura Blossoms growing of its stem. The background is blurred which also makes the floral more eye-catching as it adds a crisp, sharp detail to the quality of the image. You can see that the natural sunlight is coming from the left side of the image as there are shadows of the stem relfecting onto the petals of the flowers. For my experimentations I would like to try to compose an image like this which is simple and gives a low-contrast photograph in black and white.

This photograph was taken by Doug Rosenoff in the spring of 2007. The pattern of the petals stands out because it gives the image texture. Doug Rosenoff has captured this picture using a close up shot of the flower, focusing on the petals and the stem. Doug has positioned the flower in a central position in the fore-ground, focusing mainly on the detail of the petals. The composition of Rosenoff’s image is of a single Fritillary Lily. The background is a rather dark shade however it is blurry and has light shadows. This makes the flower the main focus of the photograph. Rosenoff has taken this photo using low contrast lighting. This can be seen from the darker tones and shadows and a lower quality feel to the image. Doug Rosenoff would have originally taken this image using a digital camera in colour and edit the image into black and white using software such as Photoshop.

This image of a single black & white Tulip was captured by Doug Rosenoff April 29th, 2007 using a Tamron 90mm macro lens. This lens has a consistently silky bokeh which makes it look simple and delicate. The flower itself is in left of the fore-ground of the image with the background blurred which makes the image eye-catching as it instantly makes it the focal point. This image has been taken using a landscape, close-up shot. I like that you can see the deep detailing tone in the flower's petals. I also like that the image looks quite textured as it has low contrast lighting which show's a great range of tones which change from light to dark.

This image was taken by Doug Rosenoff in the summer of 2008. At the time of the shot the sunlight was strong from above however the result of Doug’s image has provided the petals of the Magnolia Flower thickness and a reflective texture to the leaf. Doug Rosenoff captured this photograph using a close up shot, with the Magnolia flower covering most of the central frame. This causes the Magnolia Flower to be the image’s main focus. Photographer Doug Rosenoff, manipulated this image in Photoshop using both the balance and level tools to add tone and depth to his photo. The background to the Doug’s image is out of focus, automatically forcing the fore-ground to be the focal point. Overall the photo has quite high contrast lighting, proven by the glow and detail of the light and shadow.

This image of Columbines were taken on August 29th, 2008. This also was taken using a silky bokah. For me this photograph is striking because of the bright over-exposed background. The Columbines cover the lover half of the frame. I like the composition of this image as the main focus is on the middle Columbine. You can tell this because it is more in focus than the other two. You can see more detailed lines, tones and shadowing whereas the others are slightly faded and blurry.

Here is a photograph of some black & white Tulips captured by Doug Rosenoff on March 10, 2009. The original color of the flowers are yellow. This image was taken using an older version of the Canon EF 50mm f1.8 lens. This adds smooth colour gradients. He converted the original photograph into black & white using the editing software Nik Silver Efx and a ISO 100 Agfa black and white film simulator. He then tweeked the levels and sharpening. For me this image is striking because the Tulips have been framed straight in the centre of the frame. It also covers most if not all of the frame as it is a close-up shot of the three flowers. I like how dark the tones of the stems are as the petals are alot lighter and have a much lower contrast. The background is just plain white with a smudge of blur in the lower right corner caused from the snow that was available at the time of the photo being captured. I like the shapes thate the tulips are formed in and you can see the detail and veins of the petals very clearly even in the shadows. For my experiments I would like to try to capture an image using this technique and process.

This photograph by Doug Rosenoff was taken in the Autumn of 2009 using a Canon 5D Mk II camera. The flower itself is of two White Orchids. The original coloured version of the image contains the colours white, purple and yellow. This intrigued photographer Doug Rosenoff, as when he converted the image using Photoshop into black and white, the saturation of the colours changed. The photograph has been taken by Doug using a close up shot, highlighting the two main flowers. The Orchids in the image have been positioned in the near centre being composed in the foreground, intentionally being the dominant focus of the image adding depth and detail. For example the water-drops are sharp and crisp. The mid-ground is a soft grey shade, with hints of light causing shadowing and gradient darkening into the background. Behind the flower heads you can detect a stem curve downwards towards the left of the frame flourishing with buds. In addition you can also see the back of another White Orchid, however it is blurred as it is not in focus. The background contains dark tones, which illuminates the Orchid petals making it stand out in the frame.
