Some of them had been in vases overnight, and some of them are STILL in vases at my house. Carolyn's selections were wonderful. I hope Belinda's Dream is available for you in Greece.

It's such a beautiful, well written book. I will definitely be checking out the manual and watching the tutorial DVD I bought. I guess I should have already done that, shouldn't I?sherryocalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367991971551038582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7928880599026491390.post-18018514079763294292012-11-05T17:49:32.464-08:002012-11-05T17:49:32.464-08:00Susan, I really do wish I had room for Belinda'...Susan, I really do wish I had room for Belinda's Dream and maybe a few of those Buck Roses.

It was this book that I can blame for helping to light the flame under my burning love for roses. Carolyn's photos of Climbing Rouletii in her garden will make you weak in the knees!<br /><br />Regarding your camera ... the P setting gives you access to and control of your camera's White Balance, which is the process the camera uses to compensate for different types of light (sunlight, shade, fluorescent, etc.) The key to getting red is to play with your white balance and take different shots (even if the setting isn't actually the light you're in at the time), to avoid photographing red roses in bright, direct sunlight, and just keep practicing. I have yet to photograph 'Black Ice' and get the correct color ... but I'm still trying.Connie in Hartwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09127877285792861166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7928880599026491390.post-52751130888018974612012-11-05T09:53:04.081-08:002012-11-05T09:53:04.081-08:00I can see why you would be totally inspired...abso...I can see why you would be totally inspired...absolutely beautiful!

I can't bring myself to cut enough flowers to make a nice lush arrangement. Maybe if I had more roses I wouldn't mind cutting them as much. Well, obviously the solution is for me to get more roses :)Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02302360499719675696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7928880599026491390.post-12069933128229996862012-11-05T03:44:01.128-08:002012-11-05T03:44:01.128-08:00Oh Sherry ~ This was absolutely wonderful, the arr...Oh Sherry ~ This was absolutely wonderful, the arrangements by Carolyn, the roses and foliage from Carol's gardens, and your photography.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing this inspiring experience.<br /><br />FlowerLadyFlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.com
