I wanted to get my four dollars worth out of the roses I bought Wednesday so I set them up near a sunny window. I used spot metering and a wide aperture but had not planned to convert to black and white.
I did plan on adding an effect in ON1 Effects and for some reason chose one called Ansel In The Valley. Ansel Adams is famous for saying you don’t take a photograph, you make it. So this one’s for you Debra.
Note: Aldi has very good quality flowers for next to nothing, but you have to bring your own bag and shopping carts cost a quarter. The upside is that the one in Lancaster has horses in the back ready to pose for pictures.
Photography OCD 
I wish I could smell it. Great tip about Aldi, thank you!

These roses hardly smell at all Kacha, I think they are some kind of hybrid or something.

Thanks VJ but nothing is perfect, although the phrase “good enough for government work” always bothered me. 🙂

The really interesting thing is that the horses and buggies travel a highway to get there.
