Golden Yellow Lily
In this particular shot, I was looking for deep drama with soft shadows and a black background, placing the bright yellow against a dark background. The main source of light was the center of the flower. I took a light reading in the A (Automatic) mode and set the f\stop and shutter speed values to the M (Manual) mode for the purpose of controlling soft shadow effects. The shutter speed was 125.th sec. and f\stop was f\8. By increasing the shutter speed to 250th. sec. I deliberately under exposed the background causing it to turn black.
