8/8/06 - Yet Another Dahlia

Actually not another in the sense of a different dahlia - it's another day of the same dahlia that's been my PAD subject for 3 of the last 4 days.
A different effect/appearance - I shot this at ISO 800 because it was getting a bit dark and the wind was blowing the flower around so I needed a faster shutter speed. The good news was ISO 800 got me what I needed in terms of speed. Unfortunately, the bad news is that the dark area in the lower right side looked terrible. I tried Capure NX's noise reduction (instead of going to Noise Ninja as I normally would have). I guess I overdid it; the result was an overly smoothed flower. Since the overall effect wasn't bad, I decided to go with it.

Nikon D70s
1/250s f/8.0 at 75.0mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
