Thanks, everyone. I love taking photos of roses. I got the opportunity to go to Portland this spring and I jumped at the chance to visit the rose garden there.

Portland, OR Rose GardenTime
Late morning - early afternoonLighting
I made sure my own shadow wasn't blocking the rose.Equipment
I used my Canon T5i and I'm sure I used the flash on it. I'm not 100% sure if I used the flash or not.Inspiration
The beauty of this rose in its clusterEditing
I ran it through Nik software to bring out the details of the rose petals and I used vignette.In my camera bag
Other than my camera, I have a spare battery, chewing gum, a pen, and the other lens that came with the camera.Feedback
Have patience and just have fun. Photography is about capturing moments in front of the lens, not behind it.
